Took a trip two years ago to stay on the shores of #StrangfordLough after seeing the wonderful @MeganMcCubbin at the amazing #CastleEspie. I live down south on our Island and it's great to see NI being highlighted like this. I especially loved seeing the #RedKites

Portrait of a male rosy-billed pochard with his purple tinged black head, red eyes and red bill. Quite the aristocratic of the duck world
