We discovered our "other" back garden last weekend - a stretch of beach / fields / scrubland and gorse literally 3 minutes walk away. Below are a selection of photos I took from this new haven!

| Kestrel - seen quite a few times so hope to get better close-ups soon! |
Gorgeous blue skies in Ireland all last week which is set to continue throughout next week into next weekend - I could get used to the blue backdrop on my photos!
Of course, I've probably jinxed it now ;-)

your 'other ' back garden would make a great 'patch' to record from Sharon.
Smashing location to have just minutes away from the back door.
I'm very envious Sharon, I expect you have the place to yourselves as well? Like the Kestrel and how good does that sky look!
Sharon....I've died and gone to paradise....beautiful, absolutely beautiful......
Thanks everyone!
Warren - I think Forest will be doing this as his patch - I'll stick to the "normal" back garden!
Early Birder & Phil - I agree, it is a stunning location, one which we didn't realise was so close & we do have it all to ourselves if we go there before 11am - the Irish don't tend to go out anywhere until about lunchtime!
Cheryl - Thanks - I'm sure it won't look as beautiful once it goes back to being grey & rainy though!
I like the look of your extra garden Sharon, it obviously has some nice spcies to see in addition to the other garden. Nice Kestrel shot - It's never easy to freeze the action.
A lovely place to live in, and to shoot off with a camera. The beautiful photo of the Sand Martins and that great Kestrel.
you've got to be kidding! Thats your 'other' back garden - what a great patch to have 3 minutes from your house!
Nice pics of the sandmartins and amazing one of the kestrel.
Hi Sharon,
Wow this looks like a bird paradise too me! Well not bad for a first visit! The pictures are beautiful and the birds species quite nice to have around!!!! Congrats for discovering this new birdies paradise!!
