Plenty of action by the Dargle River at the People’s Park, Lower Dargle Road, Bray, Co. Wicklow, Ireland yesterday, January 22nd 2021
Male and female mallard
Black headed gull in winter plumage. In summer it has the black head (actually it is dark brown). In winter it just has the dark spot behind the eye. They were the most predominant gull in the People’s Park yesterday
This black gull was fishing yesterday. It was a first for us to see this particular one fishing
It would swim along looking intensely into the water
then up into the air
then the dive!!!! It was fantastic to see
There was a feeding frenzy and these gulls were competing in a big way for the food being given to them
One of the lucky ones flying off with it’s prize !!!!
Some early daffodils to lift the spirits
The moon was quite visible in the afternoon sky
