You can call me Al. Our bird on the outstanding Hawk Walk at Aillwee Cave

You can call me Al. Our bird on the outstanding Hawk Walk at Aillwee Cave

Al, with Galway Bay in the background

We are hanging out with Al, a Harris Hawk and our bird on the walk through the woods by Aillwee Cave in the Burren. We include CL (Al is her bird for the walk) and our guide James of Aillwee. Al has been speeding up and down paths (sometimes millimetres from the ground), more often skimming through the often dense hazelwood, for his rewards of little nibbles.

Al checks out his handler


But now, after an hour or so, we are on the way back and he is now on my arm. Suddenly he tenses, he knows dinner is coming from James. His grip increases - you feel the enormous power in his solid bone claws (the rest of his bones are hollow). He is excited as any other hungry animal, just think of your puppy when he hears the rattles of nuts, and he shifts often. Finally, the red food is at hand and he tears (literally) into it.


Quite a feed vanished in no time and soon he is picked up any stray bits and licked between his toes. James says he that after a feed like that he’ll be in a lazy mood in the morning and won’t be assigned to any early duties.



Our afternoon had a more gentle start, in the arena where the Birds of Prey staff put a few different birds through their paces. First up is a Red Kite, a medium large bird found mainly in Western Europe and North West Africa. Kites have a fantastic ability to glide and turn and that was well illustrated here by our bird called Γ‰iru.


Next came a falcon, “one of the fastest animals on earth.... And his eyesight is on another level, he can spot a pigeon at four miles.” As he was put through his paces, by James, swallows crowded around him in the air, safe in the knowledge that they are one of the few birds that the falcon cannot catch!


And the arena show closed with a trio of Harris Hawks (not including our Al!). Theses hawks, found in Arizona and down through South America to Argentina, are unusually social and will look after their weaker group members. They are the only social raptor and even hunt in groups, anything from three to twelve birds. Twelve would certainly make a formidable opposition in the wild.

Hungry Al


With the arena show over, we were taken to meet Al, who had a good look at us. It seemed that he approved. Just joking. These birds have little interest in humans other than as providers of food. Soon we were in the woods and Al was showing off.


Whistle for Al


He would fly away, until out of sight. Then James would whistle and Al would come at a fantastic speed, up the path maybe, just a few inches above the ground. Sometimes, he didn't oblige with such a photo friendly run but would pick his way through the trees. In either case, he would come to a stop, seemingly at the last minute and land on your hand, facing back the way from which he had come. As time went on, he responded to my whistle (doesn’t really matter who he gets his food from!).

Γ‰iru, the Red Kite


James filled us in on these hawks. Al by the way is an 8-year old and has been doing these walks since year one. They are weighed every day and that determines the amount of food each bird will get. In the wild, they can live to between ten and twenty years, double that in captivity.

Dinner for Al!


Their diet in the wild consists of reptiles, birds, rodents and rabbits. Here they get lots of chicken and quail and anything else they see themselves. While we were in the wood, Al spotted a pigeon, the fastest pigeon I’ve ever seen and he just managed to get into the thicker part of the wood before the hawk arrived. Trained Harris Hawks have been used to remove unwanted pigeon population from buildings in the US and the UK.

All the birds of prey take a note of their surroundings as this falcon does here on arrival at the arena.


James kept emphasising the magnificent eyesight of these hawks. It seems to be an amazing system, with nine tenths of it going back into the head, a kind of sophisticated control room. This Swedish study revealed that Harris Hawks have the best colour vision “found in the animal kingdom to date.”


So big thanks to Aillwee and James for the amazing opportunity to see Al at close quarters. If you book the Hawk Walk, your companion can also come to record the event for a much reduced fee. And again, there is a combined ticket for Hawk Walk, the Arena Demos and the Cave itself. All the details at Aillwee Cave. And don't forget a visit to the Farm Shop for some fantastic tastes of County Clare and Ireland.


Milandes
* I didn’t realise it but I did come across the Harris Hawks before - they are very popular for falconry displays. I met mine at the Dordogne’s Chateau des Milandes (the former residence of song and dance star Josephine Baker, in the news recently for having been awarded the French LΓ©gion d’honneur). Birds put through their paces that day also included a Kestrel Falcon, a Barn Owl, an eagle owl, various other falcons and an American fish eagle. You don’t have to go to France to see them at close quarters as many are right here in County Clare!

Jog with your dog, bound with your hound or SUP with your pup! Wild Atlantic Wag - Enniscrone’s dog friendly festival

Jog with your dog, bound with your hound or SUP with your pup

Wild Atlantic Wag - Enniscrone’s dog friendly festival

Pic: Trevor Henry


The Wild Atlantic Wag is a festival like no other - it’s a weekend of dog centred fun and activities in the Sligo seaside village of Enniscrone on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th September 2021. The festival centres around a beach canicross race on Sunday and includes SUP with your pup, a fun dog show, dog themed murder mystery tour, dog themed sandcastle competition and lots more. The event is run in aid of the RNLI in Sligo. 

Event organiser Karen O’Connor is a dog trainer and behaviour consultant, with a passion for canine fitness. “The inspiration behind the Wild Atlantic Wag festival was to get dogs, and their people, active and having fun”, Karen explains, “There are so many activities you can do with your dog and Enniscrone is just the ideal location for most of them. The whole point of the weekend is for dogs and their owners to be outside having fun and also to promote responsible dog ownership”. 

Canicross is a recognised sport consisting of cross country running with a dog attached to you using a hip belt, bungee lead and appropriate harness for the dog. The Wild Atlantic Wag version is on the long, sandy beach at Enniscrone starting at 10am. Some of the country's top canicrossers, who will be representing Ireland at the world championships in April will be taking part.

There are three distances - 5km, 3km and 1.5km for juniors (under 12). This event is chip timed so prior registration is essential. All entrants will get a goody bag including a bespoke medal, dog treat and specially designed WAG socks. Canicross equipment is recommended but isn’t essential. Some equipment will be available to borrow on the day. Otherwise, you can take part with a handheld lead and collar but no prong collars, choke chains or retractable leads are allowed. 

The run will be followed by a pet themed sand art competition and fun Dog Show and K9 Olympics. Events include dog-and-owner races such as an egg and spoon race with a twist - the lead must be held in the same hand as the spoon, and categories such as Best Sausage Catcher for the dogs.


The fun dog show starts at 1pm in The Hollow behind the beach. The classes are a little out of the ordinary with categories including, ‘Waggiest Tail’, ‘Best Mixed Breed’, ‘Best Trick’, ‘Fancy Dress’ and ‘Looks Most Like Their Owner’. 


On Saturday, SUP with your pup is the order of the day where dogs and their owners try stand up paddleboarding at Enniscrone Pier with Harbour SUP. Buoyancy aids are essential for both - a limited number of dog life jackets will be available on the day. Sessions must be pre-booked; the first is at 2pm and a second will take place if there is sufficient demand.


Everyone is invited to take part in a murder mystery walk around the village at any point over the weekend. A notorious puppy farmer has been found murdered in Enniscrone, after the pedigree puppies he sold turned out to be mutts. Find the clues around the village to work out who committed the dastardly act and what they used Just get a map and follow the clues to solve the mystery and a tasty ice cream treat at Maple Moose. 


According to Discover Enniscrone, dog friendly accommodation is available in Enniscrone at the Ocean Sands Hotel and several other establishments. Their website www.discoverenniscrone.com    will help in planning a visit to Enniscrone. Full details of the Wild Atlantic Wag festival are available on Facebook (@tailsandtrailsireland). Early booking is recommended.



Liberty Wines welcomes historic Ferreira to its Port portfolio

Liberty Wines welcomes historic Ferreira to its Port portfolio

 


Liberty Wines is delighted to be appointed Ireland agent for Ferreira. Founded in 1751, Ferreira is the oldest Portuguese Port house and remains the leader in the domestic market.

It is thanks to the leadership and foresight of Dona AntΓ³nia Adelaide Ferreira that the house became the force it is today. When most other Port houses bought bulk wine from farmers, Dona AntΓ³nia recognised the importance of vineyard ownership to guarantee quality. By the time of her death in 1896, Ferreira had become the largest Douro landowner, including the illustrious Quinta do VesΓΊvio, Quinta de Vargellas, Quinta do Vale MeΓ£o and the house’s flagship Quinta do Porto vineyards.

Planted in 1771 and acquired by Dona AntΓ³nia in 1863, the 27-hectare, sustainably and dry-farmed Quinta do Porto lies on the north bank of the Douro, where the warmer mesoclimate and southerly aspect give wines characterised by exceptional concentration, weight and structure, with exuberant ripeness yet wonderful balance. Old-vine parcels, described by winemaker LuΓ­s Sottomayor as “over retirement age”, produce low yields of intensely flavoured grapes that form the backbone of many of the top Ports in the Ferreira range.

David Gleave MW, managing director of Liberty Wines, 
says: “Ferreira enjoys a special place in the history of the Douro and has remained a personal favourite since I first came across it in Portugal in 1987. We’re delighted to begin selling these wines, as they are distinctive in style and complement those produced by Offley.”  

The Ferreira Ports available through Liberty Wines are as follows:

Ferreira Dry White Port NV                                                            RRP € 21.99
Ferreira Dona AntΓ³nia 10-Year-Old White Port NV                   RRP € 20.99 (37.5cl)
Ferreira Ruby Port NV                                                                    RRP € 21.99
Ferreira Tawny Port NV                                                                  RRP € 21.99
Ferreira Late Bottled Vintage Port 2016                                      RRP € 29.99
Ferreira Dona AntΓ³nia 10-Year-Old Tawny Port NV                  RRP € 32.99
Ferreira Dona AntΓ³nia 20-Year-Old Tawny Port NV                  RRP € 55.99
Ferreira ‘Quinta do Porto’ Single Quinta Vintage Port 2019    RRP € 102.99
Ferreira Vintage Port 2018                                                            RRP € 119.99

Burren Gold’s the star of the Aillwee Cave Farm Shop that highlights the best of Irish Food

Burren Gold’s the star of the Aillwee Cave Farm Shop that highlights the best of Irish Food.



There’s a bunch of cows, Holstein Friesians and Fleckviehs (an Austrian breed), grazing on the tough fields around the Caherconnell Stone Fort in the heart of the Burren in County Clare. The Fleckviehs have arrived in the last couple of years. 


Not easy for a cow to get a decent biteful here; grass is not plentiful, far from it, but the cows also eat some of the famous herbs and plants that grow in the crevices in the great pavement of the Burren rock. And that hard-earned mix of flavours goes to make Burren Gold, a Gouda style cheese for which Aillwee is rightly famous.


We made our most recent visit to the famous complex last week and Farm Shop manager Dave filled us on the benefit of the new arrivals. “Before we were milking twice a day, now it is once a day, which is just what the farmer wanted. From the same number of cattle we are getting much the same quantity of milk but milk of a better quality; that there is more butter content in the milk is to our advantage.”


So both Aillwee and the farmer have benefited from the inclusion of the Austrian breed. They have been making the cheese here since 1985. So why haven’t we heard more about it? The main reason is that over 90 per cent of it is sold right here in the Farm Shop and the rest locally.


Burren Gold is a firm textured Gouda style cheese with a rich creamy taste. It comes in a variety of flavours:- Plain, Smoked, Cumin, Garlic & Nettle, Black Pepper and for something a little more exotic—Piri Piri. 


They also age some of the cheese. You can see the racks of wheels in a glassed off section of the cheesemaking shop (you can also see the cheesemaker in action), one for 12 months, another for 24.  These mature cheeses are splendid and we bought ourselves a piece that was just over 12 months. And it seems every bit as good, if not better, than it was on our last visit in early 2019. And you’ll soon be able to buy even older cheeses here.

Some of my shopping!



With all the sales at the cave, I thought they would have been lower numbers of cheese purchases because of Covid restrictions. But not a bit of it! Dave: “It has been our busiest summer ever.” But they did take steps to make sure sales stayed up. They introduced online sales and also a Cheese Club and both have been very successful. Check it out here



When we spoke on September 1st, Dave was keen to let me know how the shop itself had changed over the past two years, stressing that the range of produce and products available had changed. Before, much had been imported. Now “it is 95% Irish” and he is rightly proud of this and the fact that many local Clare people have an outlet for their work.


“We are all about sustainability and local. We have St Tola here and Tipperary Blue by Pete McDonnell (who is out in southern Africa at present helping set up a community cheese enterprise).”


Dave pointed to soaps by Airimid from Kilfenora and those under the Moher name (made by an ex employee), local jams including some from the Clare Jam Co in Doolin. They have beautiful occasion cards by Lamblittle (see lamblittle on Insta), coffee by Anam, seaweed products by WASi, colourful pottery by Bridget Shelly, dairy free chocolate by NobΓ³, beeswax food wraps by octogenarian Mary Wall of Cutra Bees and much more.



Dave with a 5-year old wheel
Cheese is the top selling product here of course. You’ll see Maggie behind the cheese counter regularly and she is responsible for the next best seller: a delicious fudge that comes in a variety of flavours. You don’t want to miss out on that! I didn’t when I filled my bag here on the following day!



When you visit Aillwee, be prepared to spend some time there, not just on the shopping. You may of course visit the famous cave, part of the Burren Geo-Park.  You may buy a combined ticket that will enable you see the Birds of Prey put through their paces in the arena.  And if you want to interact closely with one of nature's top predators, then sign up for the Hawk Walk (you’ll need to do this in advance). This walk also includes admission to the cave and the Birds of Prey. More details on my August 31st Hawk Walk here.

DUBLINER WHISKEY INVITES TASTY LOCAL STUDS TO PRODUCE SIZZLING CALENDAR IN AID OF A GOOD CAUSE

DUBLINER WHISKEY INVITES TASTY LOCAL STUDS TO PRODUCE SIZZLING CALENDAR IN AID OF A GOOD CAUSE 



Over the last few months, Tony Cantwell, Shane Dan Byrne and Killian Sundermann have formed an online bond due to one commonality: they are Young Hot Guys. Call it a running joke, call it facts… the sex appeal is undeniable. An idea then materialised amongst the gentlemen that perhaps there would be a demand for a limited-edition calendar featuring the tantalising trio, a steamy assault on the eyes. That’s where Dubliner Whiskey stepped in. 

The brand asked the guys if they could produce this calendar for them and donate the proceeds to a good cause. Tony, Shane, and Killian accepted the opportunity to marry their respective magnetisms and immortalise their legacy on paper for years to come.

The Dubliner Whiskey wanted to partner with a charity close to their hearts on this one. Gay Community New (GCN) has been a vital, free-of-charge information service for Ireland’s LGBTQ+ community since 1988 and has been a huge force of positivity in countless people’s lives. 

The Dubliner Irish Whiskey Global Brand Manager, Darren Mooney, expressed his enthusiasm surrounding the project It’s easily been the most enjoyable project at Dubliner HQ in 2021 thanks to all involved, though there’s more coming soon that we’re very excited about.” If this project is anything to go by, whatever is in the pipeline must be fantastic.

And so, it went ahead. Three of Dublin’s most visually arresting lotharios met at a photographer’s studio in an undisclosed location in the City Centre. The session was a sumptuous exploration into what it really means to be a Young Hot Guy and the 13-page seasonal booklet it has resulted in can only be described as erotic art from the 90s. 

The calendar is available to buy from today at thedld.com for €20, all proceeds go to GCN.

A Quart of Ale± #67. On the craft journey with Ballykilcavan, Trouble Brewing and White Hag.

A Quart of Ale± #67


On the craft journey with Ballykilcavan, Trouble Brewing and White Hag.

************

Ballykilcavan Blackwell Stout 4.4%, 440 can CraftDirect


This prize contender is black, black as a moonless night in the deep wood. And there’s a soft fluffy milky-coffee coloured head of the slow sinking variety. Coffee and chocolate in the aroma plus toasty stuff as well. And it’s pretty traditional on the creamy palate also, coffee and caramel and toasted notes too plus hints of smoke and spice in the background. Good dry finish in this pretty faultless stout, redolent of ages past - remember those threshings - but well capable of holding its own on the current palate. IBU: 45


The Griffin is the symbol of the Walsh family, who have been farming at Ballykilcavan for 13 generations. “We have lived and worked here since 1639, and diversification has always been important to keep our farm viable for future generations. When I took over Ballykilcavan from my father in 2004, my motivation was to try to sustain it so that someone else would be able to take it over from me.” And the brewery is one way of doing that. Already, they are exporting.


The brewery is installed in the original stone grainstore for the farm, which was built in around 1780. In previous centuries, the building was used to store barley and oats after harvest, and then to mill them for bread making, feeding animals and maybe even making beer. Like most of the buildings in the 240-year-old farmyard, it is too small for modern farm equipment, but it is the perfect size to fit a small craft brewery.

The brewery have been boosted by some good news on this stout: “Great to see our Blackwell Irish stout has made it into the @BlasNahEireann final. All eyes on Dingle on the first Sunday in October.

Ballykilcavan Clancy’s Cans #5 Farmhouse Ale 4.8%, 440 can CraftDirect



This farmhouse ale comes in a deep opaque pink with a white head. Aromas are, not surprisingly, fruity. After all, it does contain adjuncts of Hibiscus and Grapefruit. It is light and bright on the palate, a beer for the summer, one to start a session perhaps. Fruity all the way until the dry finish.


This limited edition can series is named after the five generations of the Clancy family who have worked at Ballykilcavan Farm. As it happens, this is the 5th in the series and was issued last May. Serve between 7 and 11 degrees.



Trouble Brewing Love Below Micro IPA 3.2%, 440 can CraftDirect 



The hazy orange body is topped by a frothy white head that hangs about a bit. No shortage of hops as you can smell from the aromas, where tropical fruits are prominent plus a touch of pine. Perhaps a bit light on the body (feather-weight, they say themselves) but it does pack a hoppy flavour punch, crisp, refreshing and then very dry on the finish.


Hops used are Citra and El Dorado and the brewers recommend enjoying it with barbecue skewers, fish and chips or prawns. Not in the top rank of IPAs but a very noteworthy one at this abv and one for which there will be plenty of opportunities, including at sessions.


White Hag Keltoi Kolsch Style Ale 4.8%, 330 can CraftDirect



Light gold is the colour of this Kolsch style ale from White Hag. And millions of little bubbles weave their way quickly towards the soft white head that slowly sinks. Floral and fruit aromas are subtle rather than intense. Clean and crisp on the intro, the body somewhat heftier than you’d expect, the malt making an impact on the way to a very refreshing finish indeed. Quite an impressive beer.


They say: Keltoi is one we’ve made once before, with our friends from Mont Hardi, in Brittany, France making a double collab at both breweries last spring. We swapped some samples to understand the differences, and we sent some of the spare beers out to our Clann subscribers for feedback. They loved it, and demanded it be put back on the schedule – so here we are!

For the last days of summer! One white and one rosΓ©

For the last days of summer!
 One white and one rosΓ©



You might be expecting a screwcap closure on this one as it  is white and comes from the Languedoc, one of the less formal wine areas of France. But you’d be mistaken, though the cork itself, not from traditional materials, is one of these modern amalgams.


Picpoul is both a grape and an area. This ChΓ’teau Albajan has a green-tinged light straw colour. An inviting mix of fresh citrus and pear gently lead the aromatics and you’ll find their flavours on the palate, a lively palate! There is the slightest tingle on the attack before the zesty flavours round it off on the way to a lip-smacking (no, not really lip-stinging!) crisp finish. Highly Recommended. Well priced too by the way.


O’Briens tell us that ChΓ’teau Albajan has been in the Albajan family since 1850. It is located in Castelnau de Guers in Picpoul de Pinet, lying between the famous oyster farming Thau lake (Bassin de Thau) and the historic town of PΓ©zenas. The estate is run by Marie-Laure Albajan with a focus on achieving the best expression of their terroir with perfectly ripe and healthy grapes.


And the grape? Picpoul (also spelt as Piquepoul) is very well suited to the region and has been grown here for centuries. The name Piquepoul might put you off because it translates as "sting the lips", and is a reference to the grape's mouthwateringly high acidity. No wonder they say: “Match with salty”! But you may like to pair it with Pastas, Vegetarian, Poultry, Lean Fish (cod, haddock, or pollock for instance), CanapΓ©s.



GAI’A 4-6° Agiorgitiko Peloponnese (PGI) 2020, 12%, €15.95 O’Briens



Agiorgitiko is a fragrant red wine grape native to Greece's Peloponnese and that is where this rosΓ© hails from. It is a pale pink. Rose petals, strawberries and pomegranate in the aromas. Very pleasant  and fresh bouquet indeed and very pleasant in the mouth also with its fresh fruit flavours enhanced by a lively acidity. Light and lovely all the way to the finish. Highly Recommended.


Gaia say: This wine, whether taken as an aperitif or enjoyed by the glass while out at a bar with good friends, it will impress! Paired with a light meal, it will definitely fascinate! And as an accompaniment to Asian cuisine, it will surely conquer. AGIORGITIKO 4-6h can be treated as a white wine, and served cold in a big glass for one’s own pleasure! 


RosΓ© wines are back! Some lighter and fresher, some darker and richer. The Agiorgitiko 4-6 was created from grapes which grow at a particularly high altitude, give a lovely rose color and a profound freshness of aroma and flavor. Suitable for Vegans & Vegetarians
