Spring Forward Fall Back.
Talking about time change today Martin Donegan
was giving the formula for the Spring Change as
Spring time change is on First Sunday
After the First Full Moon after the Spring Equinox.
Is there a similar formula for time change in the Fall ?

Martin was telling us that a Cappaleitra Goose (not a gander)
came down the river last year and took five swan cygnets
under her wing as it were.They are still swiming merrily around
except there are now only three cygnets left.
Martin has been taking photographs of this occurence and will
send some to this website.

I had been noticing a robin in the yard during the winter.
When I was near the bottle sorting area it was there.
When I was filling the nut feeders some forty feet away it was there.
Now two different robins are building nests in two different stores
in the yard and all is well.

Brian Carroll and Kerrill Thornhill our website editor met up in the
past few days and that information leaflet on Shannonbridge is
available for downloading from the Shannonbridge web page.
