Pygmy owl launch
In a Slovakian forest, this Eurasian Pygmy owl takes off. A literally pint-sized predator only weighs about 70g. Despite this they can take out prey larger than themselves for food and had no fear of us. Interestingly they have a false face pattern at the back of their head to confuse and deter larger predators.

Butter Slip
Butter Slip dates to 1616 and ran underneath two houses, with its arched entry and stone steps a narrow and dark walkway connecting High St with St Kieran's St (previously called Low Lane) is the most picturesque of Kilkenny's many narrow medieval corridors. These winding streets that ramble through the city are a perfect view of Medieval Kilkenny.

Dolomites
Taken in the hedgerow at Laburnum Caravan Park Wexford. In this image I have captured two distinct elements of the Natural World. The Dung fly on the right resting on the leaf. On the left side of the leaf cluster, tucked into the fold, is a frothy, bubbly white mass. This is commonly known as cuckoo spit. A protective nest produced by the nymph (immature stage) of a froghopper (family Aphrophoridae), an insect often called a spittlebug.

Wild brown bear in Slovakia. After hours of waiting and as the light was fading, this bear emerged from the forest. He got within 50m, smelled us and turned around. An amazing experience.
