You’re very welcome to stay around for either/ both.

The world sorely needs born states-people with character, integrity and a gift for human connection like Michael D Higgins
Ireland was lucky to have one for 14 years

A camera nerd interlude: I switched from Nikon to #Olympus with Oly/ #Lumix lenses this year and delighted with it
Highly recommend considering this if you’re starting out and aiming for nature or travel shots (even street photography on a very low budget too)…any questions just shout!

Used to have a HUGE headphone/ audio collection, sold the lot and only have two set-ups…
1, Etymotic ER2-XR & Questyle M12i mobile dac-amp….£140 used, absolutely jaw-dropping if you don’t mind a weird fit
2, AirPod Pro 2 for gym, travel and noisy places…just works
Can recommend either

Couldn’t find a pigeon photo for #BirdOfTheDay but here’s a - I think - a beady-eyed young gull
One of the first shots I took when I was adjusting to switching across to Olympus kit
Taken with the lovely Oly 100 - 400 lens from memory
