Day Trip to the Saltees

It’s been a long time since I had anything to write about. But yesterday we finally managed to get out of Dublin for a trip to the Saltees Island off the coast of Wexford. A great place to go for photographs of birds. in particular, Puffins, Gannets, Guillemots and Razorbills to name a few. So eleven of us headed off to get some photos of the these beautiful birds. Sharon joined us for her first trip to the Saltees having missed out last year. It was not a great day with rain showers always threatening, but they stayed away for a few hours to let us get a few decent shots. We set off from Kilmore Quay at 10.00am and returned at 2.00pm. We had a great day and here is a short video and a few images.

Wicklow Waterfalls

Just before Lockdown 2.0 here in Ireland a few of us travelled to some beautiful waterfalls in Co Wicklow at Cloghleagh and Glenmalure. Especially beautiful in their autumn colours. Here is a short video, which I hope you enjoy.

Trip to the Saltees Island

On Wednesday 1st July a few of us from the camera club headed down to the Saltees Island off Wexford. Due to Covid-19 restrictions the 6 of us travelled in 4 cars, and we drove anxiously for 2 and half hours through a fairly consistent rain. But we were rewarded when we arrived with lovely weather. Here are a selection of photographs taken on the day. I have to thank the friends who came a long as I learned a great deal from them. I hope you enjoy.
