While on an outing with Blarney Photography Club to the Lee Fields, we were lucky enough to see a very patient heron attempt to catch his dinner.
The light was falling, and it cast a lovely warm glow on everything.
The heron did catch a fish eventually. I was 100m away down river and on hearing a shout looked up and caught a very blurry photo of the bird with the fish in it’s mouth.
A fisherman sits on a fallen tree in the middle of the River Lee by the Lee Fields. He eventually left with no fish.

Prompted by a photo I saw Joe Healy post this morning on Twitter. It hasn’t changed much since 1984.

A fish jumps out of the water of the River Lee by the Lee Fields in Cork a few weeks ago.
Most of the fishermen gathered on the banks had no luck. The fish were after the little flies buzzing over the water!

This wall on Hibernian Road in Cork has always been covered in graffiti but if you look at it in Google Street View and go back through the years it has been cleaned several times by Cork Corporation. You can go all the way back to 2009 and see the state of the wall back then. The newest Street View is from July 2022, and you can see BOZO immortalised there.
This is only the latest iteration.

Belem, a French tall ship, was docked in Cork Harbour until 10am this morning. There was a mostly disappointing sunset last night, but the sky did light up briefly just at the horizon.
The masts and rigging of the Grace O’Malley, the new sail training ship can be seen in the background. It was a lovely evening to be out taking photos.

This large wall in Bishop Lucey Park has featured a huge mural on it for several years now. This is the wall as it was in June 2021, but the mural has been changed since then.
