  6. Little Grebe, Smaller Grebe

    I was visiting Fota Wildlife Park with Henry recently when he spotted these two in an enclosure and I genuinely cannot get over how small a little grebe chick is. It’s basically a wet pom-pom with an attitude. The adult, all chestnut throat a...

  11. Little Grebe, Smaller Grebe

    I was visiting Fota Wildlife Park with Henry recently when he spotted these two in an enclosure and I genuinely cannot get over how small a little grebe chick is. It's basically a wet pom-pom with an attitude. The adult, all chestnut throat and businesslike beak, was patrolling the surface and the chick paddled over, demanding food with the kind of cheek only baby birds can pull off. I love how the second shot caught the wee one drifting solo, perfectly mirrored on glassy water, looking […]

  19. Dermot Henry at Cyprus Avenue

    Dermot Henry @ Cyprus Avenue, Cork. I saw Dermot Henry perform at the Wavelength Rooftop Bar, attached to Cyprus Avenue, in Cork, last night. Folk music isn't my usual cup of tea but Dermot's got a great voice and judging by comments on his YouTube videos, a passionate following. The support singer was great too. He said his name a couple of times but every attempt to search for it online returned other people. If you recognise the man in the second photo, please let me know!

  20. A Leg-up at Dawstown

    The man in the blue jacket has both hands on the jockey’s left boot, mid heave, and number 37 is halfway between earth and saddle. It’s neither one place nor the other. I love the awkward physics of a leg-up. It looks ungainly until you remember it’s the only sensible way to...

  25. A Leg-up at Dawstown

    The man in the blue jacket has both hands on the jockey's left boot, mid heave, and number 37 is halfway between earth and saddle. It's neither one place nor the other. I love the awkward physics of a leg-up. It looks ungainly until you remember it's the only sensible way to get a small, light human onto an animal that tall without a mounting block. I have no idea how this jockey and horse did on the day. The photo is from 2024.

    "Please note that Hibernia Line does not carry pedestrians or bicycles. The crossing is exclusively for motorised vehicles (cars, motorbikes, campervans, coaches)."

    Welp. It's a no from me.

  33. A Siamang and Her Little Passenger

    The siamang barely moved while I framed the shot. Two long arms hooked around the timber, and then a bundle of jet-black fur with two enormous eyes peering up. I’d wandered over to Fota’s gibbon island half-expecting the usual whooping chorus, but instea...

  34. A Siamang and Her Little Passenger

    The siamang barely moved while I framed the shot. Two long arms hooked around the timber, and then a bundle of jet-black fur with two enormous eyes peering up. I'd wandered over to Fota's gibbon island half-expecting the usual whooping chorus, but instead caught this quieter scene: mum holding her ground in a patch of sun, baby latched on to her. The light caught the auburn glints in her coat and the tiny one's startled little face, and I had maybe three seconds before she swung off into the […]

  36. The Patient Watchers of Fota Wildlife Park

  37. The Patient Watchers of Fota Wildlife Park

    Two herons, two very different moods. The first one had clambered up into the bare branches like it owned the place, scruffy chest plumes blowing about and that sharp yellow eye scanning the park below. The second was posing in profile on the netting above one of the enclosures, side-lit by late sun that caught every layer of grey and white in its plumage. Fota is full of exotic species you've travelled to see, and then you spend ten minutes photographing the local heron because it simply […]
