What an experience, to have a Harris's Hawk land on your gloved hand! Or even better, to swoop immediately over your head to capture a bit of quail meat offered by a falconer! We met John of Killarney Falconry at a designated spot along the roadside near Coolcorcoran...

The few bites we took of light breakfast with our coffee/tea this morning was not meant to hold us long. On our way south into Ennistimon we consulted Yelp! for an eatery offering Black Pudding. Black and White Puddings as well as Irish Bacon are components of a...
