Some Birds of Ireland

Last night I watched a program on ABC TV about some aspects of the nature of Ireland. It was called Ireland – Sculpted Isle. It featured some beautiful scenery of the island as well as some of the bird life.

There were some excellent shots of Gannets, Puffins, Redshanks, Curlews and Lapwings. They weren’t just quick takes to fill in between other shots; the camera lingered on the birds so that one got a really good look at them. This was particularly so of the Gannet shots, including the huge numbers at several nesting sites on some islands.

Loved the shots of the Puffins – such comical looking birds.
