A WHALE, 7 SHARKS & RARE ORCHIDS

Saw 7 Basking Sharks and a Minke Whale this afternoon off Crossapol, Coll. Yesterday, I spent some time checking known sites for Irish Ladies Tresses, finding nine flowering plants at two locations. I also found loads of a lovely delicate blue species of Eyebright, had great views of an immature male Hen Harrier, and watched an adult Red-throated Diver feeding a fully grown chick.
