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.

A bold splash of white against the exposed mud of the Lough, this dramatic shot brings out the characteristics of this special bird: all angles and points, beautiful but lethal with a knitting needle bill.
