It was my first time visiting Harper’s Island and unfortunately no birds came anywhere near any of the hides, but I loved to see flocks of birds swoop through the air in synchronised flight.

Nature is starting to take over this abandoned farmhouse on Harper’s Island in Co Cork. The old stone gateposts are still standing, the wire fence still technically there, but it’s clear nobody’s coming through that gate anymore. Places like this always make me wonder about the people who lived here: the dinners cooked, the fires…

We’re near Piccadilly Circus, there’s a big painted sea turtle sculpture on a blue plinth, part of a public art trail supported by Deborah Meaden and Steven Bartlett, no less, and absolutely nobody sitting on it is paying the slightest bit of attention to it. They’re all on their phones. The star of the show…

This is Betancuria. Tucked into a valley surrounded by arid, scrubby hills, this tiny settlement was actually the island’s capital for over 400 years. We didn’t have much time to explore the town, but it was really nice. Somewhere you must visit if you’re in Fuerteventura.

Look, I’m not saying Burger King has started its own airline, but the evidence is right there in the photograph. The King of the Burger was coming to visit.

If you’ve been anywhere near Grand Parade in Cork lately, you’ll know the scene: hoarding, fencing, traffic cones, and that slightly bewildered look on everyone’s face as they try to work out which footpath is still open this week. This is what it looked like 2 weeks ago when a sewerage pipe was laid across…

The sky was mostly clear on the morning I visited Salinas del Carmen in Fuerteventura with Finbarr. The sky grew brighter quickly and within moments what was dark was a lovely glow. It didn’t last long, and suddenly the day had begun.

A fabulous mural of Paddington Bear by artist, Gisella Stapleton, on York Street in London attracts the attention of many people who want to pose in front of it. The mural is near the London Eye, so there’s plenty of foot traffic. It was nigh on impossible to photograph the mural without anyone standing in…

The City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia is a sight to behold, but look around and you’ll find graceful ramps and gardens nearby, and a service road for vehicles.

A glowing yellow YIELD sign cuts through the darkness like a solitary performer on stage, casting warm light across empty spaces and parked cars, and suddenly you’re thinking about cinema and loneliness and how good urban photography is basically just about finding the drama hiding in everyday places. I love photographing car parks. Great views…

Restaurants dot the walkway under the Galata Bridge in Istanbul. I walked by and there were people enjoying food there in what I’m guessing is one of the more expensive touristy places to eat in the city. There’s a tradition of fishing from the bridge and I remember seeing many lines coming down from on…

Rebel Rebel, a David Bowie tribute band, played in Cyprus Avenue last night and put on a hell of a performance. I know all of Bowie’s famous hits and there are many, but I’m not so familiar with the rest of his music. There was a mix of the famous and lesser-known hits and I…
