The Zoo

Hi there,

I've been meaning to get around to put a few of my zoo photos up for a while. These were taken in Sept 2011 before we were back in college. It was a rainy day but the clouds cleared and quite a few of the animals came out to play. We only covered half the zoo so I will have to return to get pics of the larger animals, the elephants, giraffes and rhinos.











This isn't the wrong way around - It's a lying lion!

New Years Resolution - get out and take more pics

Hi all..  and Happy New Year!

Went to Bull Island on Saturday with the twitchers (bird watchers). I had my long lens with me but it wasn't nearly long enough. Most of my bird pics show them as tiny specks in the distance. I did get to see a kestrel hover and swoop. He caught a field mouse so if you're squeamish don't look closely at the next few pics!






Here's a few more civilised images from the rest of the day. We got some really nice light over the Poolbeg towers




And the last few are from Howth where we went to get a cuppa.
