Red Fox
Vulpes vulpes
The Red Fox is common throughout Ireland, and is a versatile species, adapting to many habitats.
Description
Maybe our most recognizable species, resembling a small dog. Reddish coat, white chest with a distinctive bushy tail.
Diet
Foxes are omnivores, hunting small mammals and birds, insects and carrion. They also eat fruit such as apples and blackberries as well as seeds and nuts. They also scavenge and are known to raid bins in urban areas. While they have close family units, they are solitary hunters.
Reproduction
Mating occurs between December to February. Cubs are born between March and April. Up to 14 cubs can be born, but usually 4-6 is normal. Cubs spend the first month in their den. During this time the mother stays with the cubs, while the male provides food. After a month the cubs venture out of the den, though never to far. It is not unusual for the vixen to move cubs to a new den. Around October or November the cubs are largely independent, though may remain in a family group.

Irlanda - Adare
ENGLISH:
Adare is a small town in County Limerick, Ireland, located south-west of the city of Limerick. Renowned as one of Ireland's prettiest towns, Adare is designated as a heritage town by the Irish government.
The River Maigue is tidal as far as Adare, with the settlement forming around the eastern bank of the Maigue overlooking the fording point from which the village gets its name. An annalistic reference is made in the medieval Annals of Inisfallen at AI982.4 "The Tree of Mag Adar was broken by Leth Cuinn". Owing to the strategic importance of the river crossing the Desmond castle was built overlooking the site near Ardshanbally (derived from Ard an tSeanbhaile - 'high ground of the old town'), and was first mentioned in 1226. Historically a market town, in the Middle Ages, Adare boasted three monasteries. Owing to the influence of the Earls of Dunraven, who built the Adare Manor (now a luxury resort hotel) a strict plan was laid out for the town.
Adare is a tourist destination and the local heritage centre, which gives insight into the history of the village, also hosts a number of craft shops. The village is a popular wedding and conference venue. Adare has two 18-hole golf courses - the Adare Golf Club, which incorporates a driving range and which was the site of the 2007 and 2008 Irish Open, the Adare Manor Golf Club and a pitch and putt course. Adare also has an equestrian centre, located in Clonshire.

Carrickfinn, Gweedore, County Donegal, Ireland
Errigal is the tallest mountain in County Donegal. A very iconic and symbolic mountain to the county & all its folk. She is the absolute pride of Donegal with bright silver coloured rock flowing down each side like a stunning gown, quite unlike any other mountain in Ireland. On this day last winter “Miss Errigal” was showing off again, all dressed up in her snow white dress ♀️
Like many folk across our lands, I have been anxiously awaiting this year’s snowfall so that I may capture newly planned winter scenes to bring to you all. I’ve even bought a 4x4 and prepared it with snow tyres, roof racks etc for the sole purpose of reaching otherwise inaccessible locations in heavy snow. However! as prepared as I am right now there is one small problem…. There is no snow & it’s warm here in Donegal! So you will have to hang in a little longer & say a prayer we get our snow for Christmas here in Ireland
