This is a continuation of yesterday’s post only today
there will be more reflection shots as I am linking this post with James’ meme,
WEEKEND REFLECTIONS. I will be showing you more magnificent coastline and some of the birds I was able to photograph. As you can see it
had been raining heavily the night before so it was very wet under foot and this is the harbour where I left to go to Tory
Island.
This is Chris, an experience birder and extremely well
thought of on Tory Island as he make numerous visits there. I met him just before going on the ferry and we
walked round the island together and he was able to show me place to look for
certain birds.
I was delighted to see this Iceland Gull.
Oystercatcher
The
Iceland Gull was with 2 Common Gulls and a Oystercatcher
Ringed
Plover
We
stopped for lunch at this lake and saw both Whooper and Mute Swans, numerous
Gull, Mallard and Tufted ducks, a Peregrine flew overhead, a number of wader, a
few Sandwich Terns and of course the Martins and Swallows were swooping down to
take insects.
Common
Gull
Turnstone
On
the video at the end, you will see the number of waders, gulls and other birds
on the seaweed.
Turnstone
I
liked this reflection above and there was a small reflection in the puddle
below also. (Info on Lighthouse on yesterday's post)
Tomorrow you will see some more of the Lighthouse on a
video.
Whimbrel
Eider
Dunlin
Rock
Pipit
I hope you enjoyed joining me as we explore Tory
Island. Tomorrow,, we will start Day 2
and see what treasures we can discover.
Thank you for visiting.
Many thanks for comments on any of my posts.
Today I love your beautiful pictures of the wild cliffs and the boats best! Also that tiny building with the reflection in the puddle, that is wonderful! Oh my, that Turnstone looks like a mad bird.
ReplyDeleteHi Ginny Glad you like the cliffs on Tory. keep tuned and you will see even bigger ones. Thanks for comment. Have a good weekend.
DeleteThe landscapes in your images are always fascinating to me. No wonder you capture so many beautiful birds. The shores are absolutely beautiful and I would really like to take a stroll down it myself.

Deleteseveral new birds here for me today, looks like another amazing spot..Chris has impressive equipment!
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn Yes, it is am amazing place and I would like to go back in the autumn although there is no accommodation then so it might have to be only for the day. Glad you are seeing new birds. Keep looking in over the next few days as there is more wonderful scenery ahead. I amoff again to the Copeland Island for the weekend so out of internet access!!! Have a good weekend.
DeleteIt's a very beautiful islans and the cliffs are spectacular, but I'm not sure I'd want to live there during winter. Have a wonderful weekend, Margaret!
ReplyDeleteHi Gunilla I am glad you like Tory and neither could I like to live there in the winter time. He would be very harsh and often they are cut off when the ferry cannot make the journey although then there is a helicopter comes over once a fortnight. thanks for comment. Have a good weekend.
DeleteA very nice and varied blog, with reflections, boats, birds and beautiful cliffs on the water. Beautiful stone runners on the stones at her water and waterfowl along the coastline.

You captured lots of reflections but I do like the boat one at the beginning. Great tour of the island.
ReplyDeleteMagnificent from start to finish. Or from wow - to wow again.
ReplyDeleteAn amazing tour! Birds, reflections, magnificent scenery, and a lighthouse. Wow!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots and what a great island this is. looks as if it would be a great place for a writer to go and write a book. Your bird shots are lovely, and what a great lens that Chris has! Looks very heavy
ReplyDeleteLovely, Margaret! I enjoyed the birds as well as your wonderful reflections! So fun to travel with you!
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures and a story. I am delighted with beautiful cliffs.
Have a great week.
Greetings.
Wow! I was delighted with every photo. This is in Iceland, right? Beautiful place! As I was scrolling through I had a sudden urge to go on a boat trip in Newfoundland! :-) The joy of the sea fills me right now as I sit inside away from the 100+ Tucson temps--in the middle of a lot of sandy vistas! Great photos!
