About the blog

Hi there,

I've set up this blog to primarily talk about and share sightings on "my patch" which is Ashbourne, Co Meath.  Although I regularly visit all the usual spots like Swords, the Bull, Rogerstown, Kilcoole etc etc I wont be talking about or reporting on any of these sites as there's an abundance of great reporting and information already available on the web.  The exception being if I find a "mega" (not really likely)!!

Instead I'll concentrate on County Meath, Ashbourne and it's immediate environs particularly, though by no means exclusively.

County Meath doesn't have a very long coast line and to be honest about both Dublin and Louth which neighbour Meath offer longer coastlines with better birding opportunities.  Instead I'll be offering up a view from inside the county, the farmland, the hedgerows and fields.

So what can you expect, well plenty of BoP's, lots of them, and anything else a little less abundant..... I wont be posting about sparrows and finches (well maybe White-throated sparrow's or Rosefinch's that stray onto the patch).

Anyway, that's the what and the where so hopefully I'll keep thing interesting enough to entice you back.

Mick.
