On the road south of Drumkeeran in County Leitrim, Ireland there is a rest and picnic area overlooking the village. This is where I found this statue, The Rookery, by Irish sculptor, Don Cronin, one of the best known Irish sculptors.
Drumkeeran is a small village of 298 people where the R200 and R280 meet near Lough Allen. The rest area provides views towards the hills in the distance . . .
. . . and of St. Brigid’s, the parish church built of sandstone in 1869. The belfry was added in 1886.
marvellous!

How beautiful, I wonder what real birds think of it.

That’s true, Gilly. I can’t say I was aware of any other birds. I once placed a large-ish winged cement sculpture in my bird bath in the garden, because it looked good there … until the birds stopped coming 🙂
