Found the water in the ponds crystal clear and no sign of the chalky marl. It was dry and sunny today at 5 C but felt much much colder with an icy occasional breeze.
The rubbish is start to accumulate around various areas again but nowhere near as bad as the Town Park.
Sadly the pond in the Town Park is looking in a very run down way

Well I’d been in Mayo for the Summer so it was great to get back to walking through the wetlands. The ponds were fuller than when I last visited in Summer and much of the reeds have been cleared.
Enjoy the 360 4K videos.

Thomas Chambers sent these wonderful photos of wildflowers taken recently in the Shannon Wetlands.
Hopefully, they have all been correctly identified and have included the names “as Gaeilge” as well as the English name.

Had a lovely walk in the hot sunshine through the wetlands today. Saw a few large blue dragonflies and a smaller brown one flying around the small pond and the bull rushes are magnificient in the large pond. The large grassland area which was being taken over by willows is now a lovely varied meadow. The ponds are incredibly low though.
My sister was with me and took thee lovely photos.

Had a lovely walk through the wetlands this morning with my sister who is visiting. Swallows flying everywhere. But the two ponds are incredibly dry.
