Last January a group from Northern Ireland Ornithological
Club visited
South Donegal in Ireland for a weekend and the weather was a atrocious. If you watch the VIDEO at the end you will see that! Also these are photographs showing a little bit of Donegal scenery and some of them are taken from a moving car! Although the colours do not do Donegal justice, this is what is it like in the winter. You can see some snow on the hilltops.
Taken from a moving car again!!
Now this video will give you an idea what the sea was like
around the north of Ireland. CLICK HERE
is it does not appear below.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing a little bit of South Donegal and this week I will be showing you different aspects of it. Tomorrow I will show you birds we came across as well as a video on Thirsday of Pale bellied Brent Geese.
Thanks for visiting and also to those who leave comments.
You do go to some very beautiful places. Often. How much time do you spend at home?
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful to me. A bit damp maybe.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful place. I love the video of the waves.
ReplyDeleteThose landscapes are so beautiful. The coasts and beaches are a memorizing sight. Would love to take a walk there myself.

Hello Andrea,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures and video.
What a wonderful landscape there.

Love the maze, and how the lifebuoy on the post resembles a celtic cross!
ReplyDeleteHello Margaret, gorgeous scenic views and landscapes. And I love the views of the water and coast. January must be cold there, I see snow.. Wonderful series of photos and video. Have a happy day and week ahead!
ReplyDeleteThat surely is a beautiful spot, birding or not. You have a good eye for a photo opportunity Margaret. Our May and June have been awful too here in Lancashire.
ReplyDeleteVery attractive! It looks chilly but not what I think of when I think of January. ;))
ReplyDeletethat must be a great spot for those very serious birders!!! that's some serious commitment, in the rain!!! beautiful landscapes!!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful area! What fun for you and your birding group.
ReplyDeleteBrrr, I'm cold. I love the pop pf red with the cross. The sea as a backdrop is very powerful.
ReplyDeleteit's really beautiful, no matter the weather!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the wooly sheep! And what gorgeous landscapes.
ReplyDeleteI think the photos show off the wild & rugged landscape of Donegal perfectly well. I feel for the brave fisherman trying to set his rods up in that weather, serious commitment.
ReplyDeleteBrave birders. Neither rain nor sleet shall stay them from their appointed Rounds! Beautiful rugged country thouh I must admit id rather see it in pictures than in real (in the winter ... Idvlovevto visit this time of year).

This does look like a wild and beautiful place. love all of the "winter coats" that the photographers have on their cameras. Also love the capture of the sheep in their winter coats.
