Club Outing – Winter Birds
On Sunday 23rd Janaury it was bright and the sun broke through the clouds warming the earth beneath. The 15 members who crossed the wooden bridge on to the Bull Island probably outnumbered the birds (!). Our feathered friends had obviously been forewarned and, for the...

On Saturday 30th October nine members arrived to catch the dawn at Coliemore. The weather was dry but, ideally, it would have been much better to have some high clouds to add drama to the scene. Still, it was great to see the sunrise and enjoy the beautiful tranquil...
