Upriver On A Slow Day

On a slow day we can always rely on this nice view upriver from the harbour in Wicklow Town.

Well Protected

In these troubled times it's nice to know that, here in Wicklow Town, at least our little harbour is well protected!

Contrasts

Pictured on the seafront at Bray, Co Wicklow, in the foreground two crows scavenge for food among the pebbles while, on the shoreline, a girl happily poses for photos.

The Sandycove View

Another of our favourite places between Wicklow and Dublin is Sandycove and today,on  panoramic Saturday,we take in an early morning wide view across from the East Pier in Dun Laoghaire, to Scotsman's Bay and the seafront of Sandycove.

Upper Vartry Reservoir

Today we're at the Upper Vartry Reservoir, near Roundwood, County Wicklow and you can fish here for brown trout, should you have the required fishing permit.

The Solitary Cormorant

I've only ever seen one cormorant at a time, feeding in Wicklow Harbour, presumably this is the same one that I pictured in this earlier post. Solitary fishing seems to be the norm for cormorants in these parts especially in springime during the breeding season.

The Harbour Kite

This guy and his kite are a new and welcome addition to the ever changing scene around Wicklow Harbour.
