The Swan Whisperer of Galway

If you’ve ever wandered down to the Claddagh in Galway, you’ll know the swans are less “graceful wild creatures” and more “assertive locals who know exactly when the bread’s coming out.”

That’s what happened on this day in 2005 when we visited and saw a young woman feeding those swans. Other birds wanted crumbs of bread too! Now we know that bread is not an ideal food for birds. Green vegetables are better for them.

Christmas in Galway. Christmas market. #Claddagh boats. #Nollaig #Ireland #Galway #mastodaoine

Last year, the Galway Hookers of Galway Hooker Club

black sail - An Lon Dubh,
red sail - Loveen.

They are currently getting a new paint job, and I hope that in the next two weeks we'll see the red sails in #Claddagh again.
