My
name is Declan Duffy, and I am a wildlife photographer.
I was asked by BBC Radio Foyle to do a 6 week journal
about the wildlife that you can see in and around Derry
during Springwatch 2008.
WILDLIFE DIARY
Declan has been pounding the city streets and parks in
search of flora and fauna. Each month he recorded his
findings in this online diary. Find out what he
spotted. More...»
BUZZARDS Buzzards have a characteristic soaring flight in
wide circles, which will last for several hours as the bird
quarters the landscape in search of prey, ranging from rabbits
and field mice, to small birds and beetles. Buzzards can
come from as far away as Scotland to live in Northern Ireland.
So where can you see them? Ballyarnet Park is a good place
to see them around 10.30 and 11am, and in the afternoon,
about 4:00pm before they go home to the nest.
Texter, Janet: I live in Drumahoe and numerous times yesterday I have cleared gratings blocked by bottles and cans and takeaway wrappers left by the public - not DoE. Janet. Ps, if they would take their rubbish home!
