2 chicks are fed by a parent just outside the window of my home office here in Blarney.
The chicks have been there all evening and I just looked out again and they’re still there. Unfortunately the neighbour’s cat, Patches, saw them too and is keeping a vigil close by. We saw the parent bird literally dive bomb the cat several times but Patches won’t be moved.
A moment before this shot was taken the first chick was fed. I have a photo of that too but I thought this was the better one.
Is it common for young birds to huddle together on a wire in the shelter of a house? It troubles me that they might be in danger or injured and can’t fly away. Anyone know?

Ok, a final wedding post for the time being. We spent a long time being sensible with the photos and this shot of the groom and the best men was about as relaxed as the posed portraits got (bar some shots of them playing pool earlier in the day).
But the boys definately seemed to be getting a little tired of the traditional shots so I made them all jump off of a tree stump - I’m sure we could have gotten even sillier but, alas, the wedding breakfast was awaiting our return!

Just a few of the small details that went into making this wedding unique.

A sort of recusive photo: Hilary is showing Norah a picture of me showing her a picture of herself.

At the recent Cork City Marathon, there came a point where there was a big mass of runners. These were just some of those bunched up. My full set of photos from the day are on Flickr.

Oh dear, I have been very neglectful of my poor old blog. Lots of exciting photos lined up for the coming days though, although most of them will be wedding oriented.
The hotel where the wedding took place had a lovely, big garden which included a fishing lake with jetties hidden along the bank. We decided to use one of them for this shot which I think conveys a nice sense of privacy between the couple and just allows the viewer a little sneak peak into their special moment.
I love the colours in this shot - even though the sky is grey, I really like it.

Shot from the car window in Union Hall. This fellow was feeding in the lagoon.
For such big birds (up to 1 metre in height with a wingspan pushing 2 metres) they’re incredibly nervous and skittish.
As I stopped and lowered the car window this one moved quickly away, and then took flight. This image is cropped from the full frame (handy having 12MP to play with).
The shot I’m really after is a perfect reflection of a hunting heron in glass-calm water… but it’s proving a tricky endeavour. In the meantime I quite like this shot.
