The chaos which began last Sunday, resulted in thousands of people in Ireland without water, electricity or any means of transport from where they had been snowbound. Some even slept in their cars on the Dublin to Cork motorway until they could be rescued.
We were snowbound too but lucky enough to have all we needed to be comfortable at home.
By Tuesday the snow had begun to recede but the temperature drop which followed turned the thawing roads into un-navigable glaciers of sheet ice. By Friday the temperature rose, the ice thawed and normality returned.
Despite the chaos, and putting aside the personal hardship borne by many, it was beautiful time all the same.

Silver-breasted Broadbill
Serilophus lunatus
Captured in forests of Vietnam.
A small, quiet bird with a distinctly silky, smooth-feathered appearance. Usually moves around through the middle layers of forest from lowlands up into the mountains. Does not often join mixed-species foraging flocks, instead tending to stick to medium-sized groups of its own species.
