2010 Greenleaf Calendar Irish Garden Birds.

So many have commented on this years Calendar. The love of Nature and particularly birds is evident.
Hard to believe that August, came and now has gone. Soon the Swallow will follow his cousin the swift and head off as far south as Africa. Its a long way from Mooncoin, in County Kilkenny to Bloemfontein, Orange Free State, South Aferica. That's the journey undertaken by a swallow, in 1999. 9623 Km.
September features the Blackbird. Go out into the Garden at dusk and these birds will object to your presence. Making themselves heard from the hedges with sharp calls of protest.
