As I mentioned to you on
Saturday’s post I was going to stay on Tory Island for 2 days, however the weather
turned nasty and the ferryman said the ferry was not going that day and
probably not the next day either. The small group I was bringing over were very
disappointed however Chris, who lives in Donegal said he would take us bird
watching around the Dunfanaghy area for a morning. So this week, I will be showing those
photographs and today I start with some scenic shots around Magheroarty Pier and after I left the group I toured round Inch Island on my way to stay with a friend at Buncrana.
You
will see on the video at the end that I went to Magheroarty Pier after I have
booked into my hotel for 1 night, just to make sure I knew where to go the next morning for
the ferry. However as you now know the
ferry was off although I still had to go and meet the rest of the group at the
pier the next day and then make other arrangements as the ferryman said the ferry would most probably be off the following day also!
Can
anyone ID this wild plant for me please?
The shots below are all from Inch Island.
I
have a short video which if it does not appear below,
I
hope you enjoyed the scenic view of Donegal and tomorrow I will show you the
birds I saw as I travelled to my friend in Buncana.
Thank you for visiting and also to those who leave comments.
A glorious place even if the weather was being unkind.
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures and beautiful scenery there, even the video is great.
I do not know what kind of plant it is.
I wish you a nice new week.
Best regards, Irma
Like the new header. It's a plant.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful countryside and coast.
Although you missed the ferry and the planned trip to Tory Island the alternative looks very beautiful Margaret. The scenic shots about Magheroarty Pier are lovely - so few people but so much to see. I hope your weather improves as much as ours needs to.
ReplyDeleteVery scenic!
