A breath of fresh air to stand on the Rock of Dunamase at sunset and survey all around. Gratitude to the bird that rose into the sky on the left hand side! 🙂

During cold weather, providing water in your garden is extra important. Be sure to provide it in a shallow dish – they want to stand in shallow water, not completely submerge themselves! – #BirdwatchIreland

There was a reward this morning for an early rise to get to work.

I rose at 7am.

The rose sky rose two hours later.

A few photos from Christmas Eve on Henry Street, Dublin.

Happy Christmas everyone!

Happy Christmas to all.

This year for me has been beyond my wildest imaginings, and I would like to thank @nlireland.bsky.social and @epaireland.bsky.social for laying their trust in me as their inaugural Photographer-in-Residence. Thank you also to everybody who met with me and took part 🙏

The moon tonight.

"An ever-present lurker in estuarine creeks, harbours and mudflats, the redshank has a fluting call that is the soundtrack to winter on the wild coast."

The 'wild coast' here is the Bull Wall, 6km from Dublin centre city. @nlireland.bsky.social @epaireland.bsky.social #ReViewingIreland #EPA_NLI_PiR

Such light today along the Clontarf seafront: Curlew in the gold and blue of the water. Days like this are great adverts for winter.

Glad you found me, Paula. Loving your house painting. Can’t respond with photos on Insta, so here’s my sitting room! How odd both of us with the same colour, even on the door!

Leitrim Dev Co became involved in Community Garden projects in Leitrim to help establish a 'Community Garden Network'. #ReViewingIreland visited this garden in Drumshanbo and another in Mohill. Pockets of diversity provide vital lungs. @nlireland.bsky.social @epaireland.bsky.social #EPA_NLI_PiR

#ReViewingIreland is on THE JF SHOW #ShannonsideFM tomorrow (Thurs) at 10.40am. The last trip was to #Leitrim covering the Community Garden Network in #Drumshanbo & #Mohill, and plans are afoot for #Roscommon #Longford #Monaghan and #Cavan

When #ReViewingIreland went to Kerry earlier this month, one trip was the Maharees on the Dingle penninsula, where the community have restored their dunes by planting marram grass and fencing them off from trampling feet, cars, tents. #EPA_NLI_PiR @epaireland.bsky.social @nlireland.bsky.social

Galway Metal at Oranmore, Co Galway, where they are passionate about recycling metal waste. #ReViewingIreland (the name of my project on Ireland's environment) went there in mid-October, on a beautiful sunny Autumn day. @nlireland.bsky.social @epaireland.bsky.social #EPA_NLI_PiR
