What a privilege to be out in Donegal Bay today and see this breaching Humpback. Also hundreds of Great and Sooty Shearwaters. The Common Seal was at the dock in Killybegs to see us off and welcome us back. All photos taken by Molly.

A nice reminder of some of the sparrows I used to enjoy seeing. Le Conte's, Chipping and Bachman's. Not sure if it was Molly or Beezie that drew these.
