Olive e-mailed me these photos from Carmel Shaw. The second is a yellow flag iris and the first is possibly a type of daisy. Can someone identify it?

While so much of the wetlands is currently dried, caked mud looking more like a scene from a desert the swallows still find stretches of water to drink on the wing. Lovely. These are the first swallows I’ve seen this summer. 🙂
And here are a few photos 🙂

A few photographs taken by Carmel Shaw of the incredible moon last night. She also saw the owl and the first bat of the season there. Great to see so many people out and about in the wetland, all keeping their social distance from each other of course.

Today due to the increase in traffic we switched where our pages are hosted from the free service from www000WebHost.com at:
https://shannontowncommunitywetlands.000webhostapp.com/
to the paid service behind a www.Hostinger.com server.
Our domain name www.ShannonTownWetlands.ie was then made to re-direct to this new server. All existing pages/pots were transferred to this new server by Hostinger.com.
It all seems OK but please get in touch if you experience anything strange. Thanks.
After a week or so I’ll remove the old server pages and redirect surfers to the our website.
