Saltee Seabirds & More

I was back on the Great Saltee Island in Wexford last Saturday 14th July 2012, to get a few shots of the Gannets.  I was amazed to se how quickly birds had gone from the cliffs this year.  See some shots below.

    So they've given up and gone already? Seems to have been a dreadful year all round for not just terns and sea birds but passerines, butterflies and bees too. Lets hope there/s enough of them about next year to stage a comeback.
