Lapwing and curlews had a successful season on Upper Lough Erne
Efforts by conservationists and farmers pay off as breeding waders have a good summer in Fermanagh.

The #UlsterCanal #Greenway is a 4km walk from #Monaghan town along the old canal.
Built between 1825 & 1842, it was 46 miles long and connected #LoughNeagh to #LoughErne. The canal was last used in 1929.
A view of the greenway, a lock keeper's cottage, a lock & a view of St Macartan's Cathedral.
The Ulster Canal Greenway close to Monaghan town - an excellent and well lit path for a good walk. A derelict lock keeper's cottage close to the Ulster Canal. The remains of a disused lock on the Ulster Canal. St Macartan's Cathedral in Monaghan seen from the Ulster Canal Greenway.

I'm afraid I might be a bit late with my contribution to today's #BirdOfTheDay - I'm having a bit of trouble getting my ducks in a row...

View across a lake. The water is bright blue, reflecting the sky above. There is a line of hills on the far side of the lake. There are eight ducks in the centre of the frame, swimming away from the photographer. Left of centre, four ducks have just taken wing and are flying upwards in the same direction.

A young Seamus Heaney meets a pagan Irish god in 1972. I love listening to his mellifluous Ulster English.

Out for a wander...

🥾

It's a bit choppy on the lough today.

Landscape oriented, 16:9 photo. View out across a lake. The water is turbulent, with lots of small waves and white breakers driven across its surface by the wind. There is a small clump of reeds in the water in the foreground and a duck swimming next to them. Also in the foreground, tree foliage extends into the frame on the right hand side. There is a large, flat topped mountain on the horizon with farmland and woodland on its slopes. Buildings can also be seen on the far shore below the mountain. The sky above it is grey and cloudy but there are a few breaks in the cloud where blue sky and bright light can be seen.

Some more pictures from Devenish Island yesterday.

#Fermanagh #LoughErne
A medieval round tower made of stone with a conical roof. There are two of its four slit windows visible just below the roof. Clear blue sky in the background. A ruined monastery building with a stone archway in a square tower. There are two windows on either side of the arch and one above it. More ruins and the water of a lake are visible through the arch. The sky is blue. Walls and foundations of a ruined church on grassland. Clear blue sky above. A stone medieval cross in the foreground on the right and a medieval round tower in the background on the left. Grassland on the ground and a lake in the background. Across the lake, a line of trees along the shore. Blue sky above.

Good fun earlier following the Pilgrim trail in #LoughErne and seeing the basilica and amazing Harry Clarke windows on Station island
