Birds
From the exotic Puffins, Gannets and Cormorants to the everyday Swans, Herons, Egrets and Gulls, there are endless photographic opportunities along the Irish Coasts and Rivers
Our forests, lakes, rivers and seafront offer wonderful opportunities for photographing a variety of these wonderful gifts from nature.
Much of the wildlife photos are taken within the city limits, along the Royal Canal and Clontarf Seafront. The Puffins and Gannets were taken on the Saltee Islands off the Wexford coast
