Ballynahinch Castle,surrounded by a 700-acre estate of mature wooded grounds and walks and one of Connemara's oldest landscaped gardens, County Galway, Ireland
The castle built in the 1750’s was originally home to the O’Flaherty clan who lived there until the end of the century. One of the notable residents was the wife of clan member Donal O’Flaherty, Grace O’Malley also known as Pirate Queen Grainne Mhaoil, a legendary pirate on the high seas. When her husband was murdered by a rival clan she took over as the head of the O’Flaherty family which was a great honour for a woman..
Prince Ranjitsinhji Maharajah of Nawanager, India stayed at the castle in 1924 as guests of the then owners, the Berridge family. He fell in love with the area, the castle and the fishing so much that he decided to buy the castle and he returned once a year until his death in 1932.
Today, Ballynahinch Castle is a high-class hotel offering top quality stays along with many activities such as salmon fishing, walking tours, clay-shooting, fishing trips and island tours. The woodlands around the Estate offer over five kilometres of woodland, lakeshore and riverside walks and the Connemara Greenway, built on the old Clifden-Galway railway line, can also be accessed here.

European Shag Bird - Phalacrocorax aristotelis
Shags are goose-sized dark long-necked birds similar to cormorants but smaller and generally slimmer with a characteristic steep forehead. In the breeding season adults develop a dark glossy green plumage and prominent recurved crest on the front of their head.

Litle Tern
The smallest of the terns breeding in Ireland. Small slender seabird with narrow, pointed wings, long forked tail and long, pointed bill. Grey above and white below, dark cap to head, white forehead in all plumages. Flight is light and buoyant, hovers rapidly while foraging over the sea before repeatedly diving in. Nest colonially on the ground on shingle beaches, making them very vulnerable to poor weather and ground predators. Only a few colonies are found in Ireland.
Tricky to photograph as they are so fast and erratic.
