Rain gently pitter-patters on a coastal saltmarsh pool after dark. Surf roars behind the protection of a sand dune, which in turn provides shelter for wintering waterfowl. Mute and Whooper Swans call to one another as they browse on aquatic vegetation. Wigeon whistles cut through the cold air as they paddle and nibble at peace in the wild blackness.

Gentle Rain, Soothing Surf, Whispering Wildfowl

A Blackbird serenades the air at dawn from a coastal Gorse bush atop a rocky cliff in East Cork. His sweet melodic tune wafts through the air pairing perfectly with the fragrant piña colada aromas of the sun-yellow Gorse flowers. A Stonechat gently sings in the distance. Crashing waves below remind us of our seaside location. Spring is truly in the air and this handsome black and orange lad wants to attract a partner but also let other competitors know that he's fit, healthy, attractive and is laying a claim to this spot.
