  4. The Auks are back!!
    Atlantic Puffins (Fratercula arctica), Common Guillemots (Uria aalge) and Razorbills (Alca torda) have all arrived back at the Cliffs of Moher to kick off their breeding seasons. It's always lovely to see them return.

  7. A Limpet village - these Hardy marine gastropods (Patella spp.) gather in sheltered areas during periods of rough weather and spread out again once it settles down. Once commonly eaten by coastal communities they'd be a rarity in most irish homes these days.

  9. This Small Tortoiseshell butterfly (Aglais urticae) woke up from its hibernation a bit early yesterday and was fluttering about the house - placed it on top of a cupboard out of harms (Fiadh's) reach. County Clare, Ireland.

  10. A juvenile male Brown Crab (Cancer pagurus) that has lost a pincer and a leg in some sort of scuffle recently. Luckily he'll be able to grow them back if he can manage to stay out of trouble for a while.

  12. A hefty delf fragment- I'm guessing it came from a large serving dish. I'm also guessing someone was in the bad books when this dish got broken 🤣

  14. A vertebrae from one of the smaller cetacean species (whales and dolphins) found in Irish waters. At a guess I'd say it comes from a Common Dolphin (Delphinus delphis) or a Bottlnosed Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus). County Clare, Ireland.
