North Atlantic Skyline - - Photographs from the west of Ireland (Galway, Mayo, Clare, Limerick, Roscommon and even Leitrim)

Skylark

The lark, that tirra-tirra chants,
With heigh! with heigh!the thrush and the jay,
Are summer songs for me...

...A Winter's Tale (you know, exit pursued by a bear and all that...)

Skylark on fencing post near Termoncarragh Lough, Mullet Peninsula, Co. Mayo. Nothing sums up summer like the sight and sound of skylarks, straining into the wind and filling the sky with their song (though obviously, they're a lot easier to photograph when they take the odd break on a fencepost).
