Can I just say a big THANKYOU to a great bunch that accommpanied me on my maiden trip to the Saltee Islands today,
I had such a good time and the weather and the sea and the wildlife where just the best, all rounded off with dolphins
on the way back! Couldnt have asked for more.The Motley crew:
And the elusive Puffin who showed up about fifteen mins before we left!
Thanks again and please feel free to add your shots to the thread :)
Thanks to everyone, and especially Jenny for organisation, great day and great weather!
Sorry I had to leave so early to get my taxi, I didn’t get to say goodbye, but was a really productive day.
Was very surprised at one of the puffins popping up between my feet, I thought I was above his burrow but not that close!Glad you enjoyed it Basil, look forward to seeing some of your shots from the day,
it was a great day :)Great day everyone, I never tire of the Saltees. Nice to meet some old faces and Some new ones too.
What a fantastic day it turned out to be.
A huge Thank You must go to Jenny for organising such a wonderful outing. And well done on getting the Dolphins to show up too Jenny… That’ll take some beating, can’t wait to see your next trick! lol
Great to meet all you guys too, a super bunch.
I haven’t even looked at my shots yet, hopefully tonight I’ll get a few up on the site. Can’t wait to see everyone else’s shots too.EDIT: Just had a quick look through them on my lunch break. Here’s the first of many I’m sure to post:
