Birds of the Lough

Out all day birdwatching
And the craic was good
Stopped off at Strangford Lough
Early in the morning                         

 Coney Island,  Van Morrison 

This portfolio features the birds of Strangford Lough.

Wagtail Walking

The wagtail is a lovely bird, famous for doing things like setting off the electronic line-judge at Wimbledon. Although depicted here in the snow, wagtails are masters of tarmac surfaces and flat roofs, where they dance for insects: Italians call them ballerinas.
