    A few from Kellystown at the weekend, there was quite a few Mergansers around but i couldn't get a good shot of them in a flock as there was a thick fog around, i also got to see the rear end of some Brent Geese as they flew overhead.

    Hi, sorry I’ve not been in for a while. Work and play have gotten in the way. However, my photography ( play ) seems to be on the right track, a few weddings, events, family shoots etc.
    Here are a couple of shots you might like.

    Lobos coral - puffed up after a feeding of mysis shrimp. They enjoy being direct fed once or twice week with something protein rich

    That small mouth in the centre is deceiving for how much they eat

    More reef spam. Haven’t been able to get outside much due to working excessively. Lucky to have a slice of nature in my house 1133AA3D-6AAC-4298-B294-F1CF1FD4F419.jpeg

    On my local patch this morning me and Ruby Roo flushed a handsome Woodcock very close by, also a Reed Bunting called as it flew overhead.
