The container ship Elisabeth left Cork yesterday at 17:19 on its way to Southampton in the UK. Here it is rounding the bend by Blackrock Castle as it heads into the harbour and out to sea.
A heron walks along the weir by the Lee Fields, waiting for fish.
A heron waiting for fish to swim past on the weir in the River Lee.
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.
On a beautiful October afternoon in Ballydehob and the last thing I needed to worry about was swans, unlike an unfortunate day in 2004 when they didn’t like me taking their photos.
When we stayed in Valletta in Malta a few years ago there were several thunder storms. I hardly saw any lightning but dark clouds accompanied them and in the evenings blotted out the sun as it set over the city and The Grand Harbour.
