It has been a beautiful few days.
Tonight we have a full moon. Earlier it made its dramatic entrance in the East, riding into the night sky accompanied by its sidekick, Jupiter.
Tonight many hundreds, if not thousands of Woodcock and Snipe will use this moon to navigate their way to my parish.
They will come from as far away as the Ural mountains in Russia, a distance of over 4000km. Travelling up to 500 km in one day, they will take a break to build up their fat levels for the onward journey.
Moon over South Tipperary tonight
Me sitting at my computer tonight, they, on their long lonesome journey.
I wish them safe passage.
