TIMELESS NATURE: For many the change in time has brought another view on nature whose activities follow normal daylight hours all the year round. The arrival of darker mornings and longer evenings has moved the dawn and evening chorus for more to share as it continues without the requirement of the change of an hour on the clock. With the pheasant population pairing off, a scarce supply of cocks sees some of them accompanied by two hens as they follow their daily activities with calls. The early mornings see rabbits, another arrival almost a thousand years ago, sit as if washing their paws in the morning dew and then cleaning their faces for a day that includes spells of hectic play in the sunshine. Following the dry spell, the recent rain was a welcome supply of water to the water filled tractor tyre tracks in a gap where hundreds of tadpoles have been born as the pool had begun to evaporate. Its arrival also brought a freshly washed look and the flush colour of new green growth to the landscape. Elsewhere the dark rain bearing clouds provide a dramatic constantly changing scene of grey’s, black and whites intersected by skeletal un-leafed trees. At evening time it was contrasted only by the blaze of furze or whin blossom, displays of wild primroses and the yellow sunset promising more rain, growth and variety for the following days.
SPRING CLEAN: The annual clean-up of the village in Windgap and its approach roads takes place on Saturday morning at 11 o’clock. On the day bags, gloves and pickers will be provided at the Lake. All help will be appreciated with residents invited in all areas to assist in cleaning up all of their local roads and ditches.
HIVE OF ACTIVITY: With the pitch closed on Monday evening, owing to ground conditions, every inch of club space was a plethora of activity, as the amenity area, hurling wall, Gym and handball alley were used by all in the build up to the peak of the playing season. To have sufficient amenities on hand to cater for such occasions is a credit to the work of the club officers over many years.
