Bullfinch at Haverthwaite

Our second visit to the lodge at Haverthwaite was even better than the first.  We had beautiful weather so when we were not relaxing on the balcony, bird watching or walking around the lodges we were out exploring the Lake District.  I did see a Flycatcher but the photo I took was a bit blurred. While I was on the balcony waiting for the Flycatcher to return I was quite surprised to see this Bullfinch.

Puffins(!!) on top of the Beehive Huts at Kerry Cliffs

We visited Kerry Cliffs just outside Portmagee with fabulous views of The Skelligs.  Despite being very close to Puffin Island we did not see any Puffins, unless you count the plastic ones on top of the Beehive huts!
