@sineadnico.bsky.social and I popped down the road for a gorgeous session with the #offalynaturalistsfieldclub watching the swallows (and a bonus sedge warbler!) being ringed at Pallas Lake, before they head off this autumn. Thank you to bird ringer Declan Manley and all involved at Offaly Heritage
