This is World Curlew Day. To celebrate a recording of this increasing rare bird taken on the banks of the River Ilen in West Cork last summer. (The music in the background was from a function at nearby Inishbeg House.)
Another view of the standing stones at Foherlagh, between #Ballydehob and #Skibbereen in #WestCork, which are featured in my masthead. This time the view to the west with Mount Gabriel on the Mizen Peninsula dominating the horizon.

An unusual gate post in the Lake District, Cumbria (click to view in full). I am not from the area, if anyone can explain the holes, I would love to hear from them.
For #StandingStoneSunday a lichen covered cross inscribed stone at an ancient church site near Bolus Head in #Kerry #Ireland

Wishing everyone a Happy and Peaceful Christmas.
I am delighted to have an article in this year's Journal of the Cork Historical & Archaeological Society on the Rev. Edward Spring and his mission to Roaring Water Bay. Next Wednesday, 25 October at 8pm, I will deliver a talk on this topic to the Skibbereen Historical Society in the O’Donovan Rossa GAA Pavilion, Skibbereen. See https://tinyurl.com/4cuf5y4k
