  2. I thought it was a chaffinch, but by crikey you appear to be right!

    This picture was taken on the cliff walk between Bray and Greystones just after Christmas.

  3. That's a great walk, specially if you have a few scoops in Gstones and get the bus back.
    Ps. I'm no ornitholigist/meteoroligist
    but surely yon birdie has it's chest to the wind?

  4. Yes, it's an amazing walk, used to often do it halfway by night when I lived in Bray in the 1980s. Did it again around Christmas this year with an old friend from Canada and his partner. Took this on the way back, approaching Bray:
