Some unmissable sights round Co Cork this June

SIGHTS not to be missed this week: firstly, the Water Crowfoot in your local river.

I think I have never seen the Bandon river between Bandon town and Innishannon so bedecked with flowers. Second, (if you’re within driving distance), the cliff-top to the right of the gates at the Old Head of Kinsale, the high-rise cities of sea birds that create nurseries on ledges often no more than a few inches wide, and come and go and shriek and bustle, making the air ways as frenetic as a Jakarta street.

Inland, water crowfoot blooms from the green tresses of weed that move sinuously on the current of almost all our rivers, or did before some became polluted.
