    So our resident Robin looks like she is back for a third year of nesting. Just this morning there was activity of nest building in the tree right outside one of our living room windows. But what is wilder is on Sunday while I was out of town my wife came back from a walk with a neighbour to see a bald eagle sitting on top of the house. She got her camera and took pictures and amazingly the eagle stayed up there for almost an hour before flying off. I asked her to e-mail me some pictures so will post those when I get them from her.

    I had to resize the photos to fit here but there is a couple of good pictures of the Bald Eagle who decided to hang out on our roof on Sunday for the better part of an hour.

    Best day out in many a year John, the conditions were perfect, sun shining, flat calm sea, plenty to see and Photograph, apart from the wildlife the scenery around Sligo/Donegal bay is just stunning.
