I took this image just after daybreak on Rossglass beach, Northern Ireland on the last fine morning I can remember. That was the 24th of last month. Tomorrow looks fine so I hope ...

This is a female hihi or stitchbird.
Endemic to New Zealand and once restricted to the North Island and some off shore Islands. Serious attempts to stop their extinction have been successful.

I seem to have developed a love for the amazing colours, textures and shapes of the jagged rock, coastal grasses and seaweed of the Irish seashore of late.

Moreraki on the east coast of New Zealand's South Island enjoys more than its fair share of dramatic sun sets.

Light rays, also know as the fingers of God certainly grab my attention as they do to many of us. This image was taken at Saint Johns Lighthouse, County Down, Northern Ireland.

Rossglass beach, County Down Northern Ireland.
The Mourne mountains are usually my main focus when my camera is pointing in their direction, but in this case they were demoted in favour of this rock pool.

The Giants Causeway consists of some 40,000 columnar basalt interlocking columns. Since I first time I saw pictures of this amazing place, I desperately wanted to experience it in person and just a few days back I did.

Not all of Northern Irelands Causeway Coast is rugged rocks and crashing waves. White Park Bay reminded me of a lovely open beach, from New Zealand's Northland region.

Puffins in general are very comical birds to watch, but some are just a little bit more so going the extra distance.

What can one do if one is caught out in a hail storm while photographing Northern Gannets with no where to shelter?
Take photos of it I guess.

Bert had been very patient this being his first mating season but when he saw Myrtle, he knew she was the ONE for him.

Rosie and I got away for a windy, freezing cold, but sunny afternoon last week to Baltray beach. The usual suspects for this time of the year were present pairing up for this years breeding season. These 2 Dunlins flew past me allowing me the opportunity to photograph them.

koekoeā the long-tailed cuckoo, some times known as the Arrow bird and is truly a challenge when in flight.
