Lapwings-Vanellus vanellus
Also known as the peewit in imitation of its display calls, its proper name describes its wavering flight. Its black and white appearance and round-winged shape in flight make it distinctive, even without its wonderful crest.

Ocean Corner - Still life interpretation for "Corner" for Macro Mondays.
For this theme I collected rusty metal and placed them under and at the sides of the image. The rounded parts of the metal were to see a view of the sky and the ocean. The seaweed and shells are from the beach in County Mayo West of Ireland and the metals collected from a farm. I took a series of 25 images using flash. Some of the items were tricky subjects due to the rounded seaweed and metals. I then developed in Lightroom, synchronised the 25 images and opened them as layers in photoshop. Then I auto-aligned the layers and when finished auto-blended the layers in photoshop and then merged the layers. Image size 3" or 75mm
Barnacle Geese - freezing hail and high winds. I was sitting quietly freezing in an icy cold field in County Mayo, West of Ireland trying not to disturb them.
Local winter visitor from Greenland, occurring in Ireland between October & April. Winters in western Scotland and Ireland. Mostly on remote islands in the northwest Ireland and western Scotland where it is relatively free from disturbance. Lives in flocks. This was some of a flock of 200.

The Golf Course at Adare Manor (formerly Adare Golf Club is an 18-hole championship golf course. Designed by Robert Trent Jones, it was added to the resort in 1995. Following the purchase of the resort by J. P. McManus in 2015, it underwent a redesign by Tom Fazio.

In July 2019 Adare Manor was announced as the host of the 2026 Ryder Cup; with the event being postponed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic subsequent matches were pushed back a year with Adare Manor now hosting in 2027.
