On Saturday I made one of my annual trips to the Saltee Islands off the coast of Wexford, in the southeast of Ireland. I love this spot, it is a great way to spend a few hours watching the wildlife and taking in the sounds of the sea. To get to the island you take …
Robins
Yesterday a friend of mine and myself went to Mount Usher Gardens in Wicklow to take some photos. When we were there a Robin followed us around making sure we didn't do anything silly. Robins are very sweet, brave little birds with a beautiful song. I hope to capture better photos of Robins in time.
