    I snorkelled for the first time over to Innishfree island today--what an awesome morning.Have taken a friends advice and ordered a rubberised camera bag from Overboard for the future http://www.over-board.co.uk/waterproof-technology-cases.html
    Saw schools of hundreds of biggish fish, eels and crabs and seals.Before we hit the water I caught couple quick shots of some oystercatchers.Bit skittish so couldn't get too close-only had little Panasonic lumix with me.I do have a Canon 30D for macro work on my meteorites and must get to grips with longer lenses for the birds.

    this chaffinch hit my window the other day.Poor little fella-still gorgeous

    yes Mark--you can still see couple of fledgling downy feathers up at his head.These littluns are spooked by the sparrowhawks, crows and seagulls that frequent the area.This seems to cause the panic flying into the glass though they oftimes survive

    He/she was at the same spot a second earlier with a mouth full of food for youngsters. There's a meadow behind that fence and there's plenty of activity in it.

    Rather large raft spider spotted in our local bog earlier today. Most unusual specimen I have ever seen in this country.

    This one was in a different spot - back on the road past the pile of rubble.

    This Starling came to a sad end in my garden on Thursday. The Sparrowhawk flew off with its meal still screaming
