This week our camera club had our annual week-end away and we went to Bunclody. The highlight for many of us was the day trip we took to the Saltees Island a bird sanctuary off the Wexford coastline. As we headed off from Kilmore Quay the weather looked fairly overcast and the thought of 5 hours stranded on the island didn’t look too enticing. We were all wrapped up but wondered would the cloud blow away and give us a nice day to take some photographs of the Gannets, Puffins and other wild birds. We trekked off towards the Gannetries and we were not disappointed. The clouds cleared, the sun came out and we had great photographic opportunities. A few lucky people also caught glimpses and a few frames of the odd Puffin or two. By the end of the day we were exhausted but very happy.
The weekend was a great success we had lovely meals, a great day out and hopefully everyone got some great photographs.
My favourite shot of the day.

Many thanks Constanze, must say I was pleased with the shot myself and had fun doing the video.
Shay, just saw the video now at home as your former employers dont allow that sort of thing these days
. Very very impressive video. Great sense of the island and the number of birds.
