A bright new mural has flown up in a Laois town, just in time for its official launch.
A mural celebrating the rare endangered bird the Swift, has been painted on a pub on the main street of Mountmellick in Laois.
Painted by artist James Kirwan, it was the idea of Mountmellick native and BirdWatch Ireland Project Officer Ricky Whelan.
