Club Outing – Knocksink Wood
On 25th March 10 members arrived at Knocksink. Many of us were not used to macro work, so it was an adventure to try and find something of interest. It certainly gives you a different perspective on nature and a greater sense of discovery. Knocksink is a beautiful...
Club Outing – Sally Gap Sunset
This outing on 14th March was bedevilled by the weather forecasts in the preceding days. These predicted near-freezing temperatures and winds of 20 km/hr. However, the forecast on the 13th showed a sunny, rain-free window just before and after sunset. On this basis,...

Club Outing – Sandymount Strand Winter Birds
The outing on Saturday 7th January was timed for 10.30 am, as High Tide was scheduled for 12.00. Unfortunately by 9.30 am, the tide was almost completely up to the footpath, and very little beach was visible. This was an oversight on our part, as we thought we would...

Meeting up outside TCD late afternoon on Saturday 10th December we went in search of the Christmas Lights. Alas, Trinity was conserving energy and their Christmas tree was in darkness. We headed to Grafton Street and managed to get some street shots. We also travelled...
