Ireland Wildlife
June
12-23, 2008
Bet
you were expecting nightlife and dancing and smoky pubs, weren’t you?
These
are the critters we met in Ireland -
how could we not include them?
|
(Dingle Harbor) It’s Fungie, Dingle’s very own dolphin. |
(Dingle Harbor) And look – he’s brought a friend! |
(Dingle Town) Who’d have thought we’d meet movie stars
in Ireland? Here’s Heckle and Jeckle! |
(Cahir) We were just playing with the camera
here. This gray heron was actually quite a ways away. |
|
(Dingle Peninsula) I love a donkey that can be bought. |
(Dingle Peninsula) I love a sea gull that can be bought! It took an ice cream cone to bribe this
guy in, though. |
(Cashel) And here is the famous Guardian Herd, who
have bravely kept the peace in the pastures of the Hore Abbey. Okay, we’re kidding. |
(Dingle Coast) Wait for meeeeee! There was a path from our lodging along
the harbor, and we passed through a cow and sheep pasture on the walk. |
|
(Dingle) That’s the harbor behind these guys. |
(Dingle Coast) There seemed to be a lot of this going on. |
(Clonbur) We came across this family on our walk
through the woods behind Ballykine. |
(Cahir) This guy was one of three that lived in front
of Carrigeen Castle. |
