Raven taking in the snow. Hoping our garden birds have full bellies for the coming cold night. Marvellous to see robins, tits, blackbirds and a feisty little wren earlier today feasting from the seed stocked feeders. #sneachta #birdlife

#CorkTraffic Reports of a tree down on the R618 between Inniscarra and Cloghroe at Canons Cross. Road is blocked as a result. Take care on approach. #StormDarragh
