The River Shannon water level has being high since last October,..only dropping a few feet when we don't have rain but not enough to return to normal,..Waterbirds are mating now and hanging about on little raised pieces of land,..contemplating making nests,..however those raised areas are right in the middle of grassland which is now flooded but should return to just grassy meadows before eggs are hatched therefore leaving eggs and young birds open to dogs and foxes,..one wonders.
Water level yesterday,..the further barriers are where the river bank is............Higher Today.
Meadows Flooded.
