8.40am Wednesday 18 March 2014







This morning's swell is a small 1 foot and the air is calm - windguru says the wind is force 2 southeasterly offshore but no sign of that here. The swell might even make a bigger 1 foot as the tide rises after 11am.

Tides

Below, I took a walk in the Knather woods on St Patrick's Day, to see how springtime is doing inland and found the following flowers in bloom:

 Primrose - in bloom weeks ago in Rossnowlagh


White violets - a garden escapee perhaps. Wild violets are more than a month away

A blue version of wood anemone. Another escapee perhaps.
 

Old fashioned wild daffodils - the kind that were common in Irish gardens till the posher cultivated varieties were introduced.

Celandine, usually one of the first flowers of March, being coy about coming out this year.
