The Saltees
Two weeks ago I had the chance to visit Great Saltee, the bigger one of the two Islands that make up the Saltee Islands. Together with a group of friends from Galway Camera Club, I got to spent a couple of hours on Great Saltee.
Click on the pictures to see them bigger.
We arrived on the Island around 12:30, and the plan was, to stay on the Island until 5:30. Unfortunately, the weather on the day didn't agree with our plan...
On the boat to the Saltees
The island is covered in bluebells! That's one thing I didn't expect, I always thought bluebells only grow in forests.
The bird colonies are located on the eastern side of the island.

We visited the Skellig Islands last year, and the gannet colony on Little Skellig was a very impressive sight. But, this is view is even more impressive!

Even the neighbors join in.
Feeling a bit lost....
Hello?
Love birds
Tango time!
A little smile? No? Ok....
Back with the shopping.
