Eily’s Report – 6th May

Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my report.

‘Tis the weather that makes it. No matter what your interests or hobbies may be, the weather can make all the difference. How blessed we are at the moment by this spell of beautiful ,warm sunny days. May Day was made all the more pleasant by the warm weather. Ireland is at it’s best in May. The native furze is in full bloom and all the shrubs and plants are vying with one another to see who can put on the best show. Silage fields wave in the breeze and there is beauty all around. Every year at this time the massive crab tree  across the road from Connie Joe’s Fort on the Macroom Road puts on a great show of blossoms but this time it excels itself. It’s leaves almost invisible among the pink blossoms as it hangs over the road  as far as the white line. The crop is never picked and in the latter end of the year our road will be strewn with mini apples of many colours. Our gardens get more interesting all the time. At my age I find the best place for me to enjoy it is in my car and as I sat there on Sunday I learned an awful lot about what goes on outside my back door. From the comfort of my seat I discovered at least four birds nests. Not seeing me in my car they flew in and out of the same bush  giving the secret away.  Overhead a wily Hawk hovered in the hope that one of the parent birds would make a blip and it could swoop down for a meal. In my open shed I could hear the gearcucs pleading for more from their cosy home inside  a cavity concrete block. The parent birds made no secret of their comings and goings and each time they brought food they had to take away excrement from the nest, a full beak coming and a full beak leaving. I have a pair of Gold finches here and they go around like an old married couple. You’d never kill a dandelion again if you saw how they relish them. With the changing of the light I can turn my car to the best vantage point, maybe nod off for a moment and continue to wallow in the wonders of nature that only a fine day can bring.
