Joe Mansfield‘Real good weather’ in Ireland this weekend according to RTÉ.
Checks Met Éireann.
Daycent in D4 maybe, 12 bleedin degrees down here by the Celtic sea lads. 🥶
Dread Pirate John Scab🚫We had a visitor in the bay this evening which has sailed from Horta Portugal apparently, the Kanoa. It’s Polish making this the first boat flying that flag I’ve seen here.
The moon continued to provide a pretty addition to the crisp midwinter mornings but the air quality near the horizon stopped me capturing the picture I really wanted with the moon touching the peak of Knockmealdown mountain as it set.
The iPhone’s AI ‘enhanced’ shot gives an idea of what it looked like earlier but despite trying both UV and polarizing filters I couldn’t bring out the moon nearer the horizon.
Happy enough with the attempt though.
Two quickly snapped poor pictures of the full moon setting over Dungarvan this morning. Hopefully I can get a much better version of this tomorrow.
I’ve lived here on and off for 50 years and this is the first time I realised this particular alignment ever happens. It more or less matches the extreme of the sun setting in midsummer but is a lot rarer because of the moon’s orbit and well, Irish skies and all that.
Killian Mangan🇮🇪Building off the momentum from Catherine visiting Waterford, we had a successful canvas in Dungarvan on Saturday afternoon 🙌
Labour, Sinn Féin, Social Democrats and independents all out and united in our aim to get Catherine Connolly - @CatherineGalway - into the Áras as our next President of Ireland! 🇮🇪🇮🇪

So glad to see the motivation and momentum behind @CatherineGalway For President!
There are not many people who could get volunteers across the country out at midnight on a Tuesday night/Wednesday morning!

I finally managed to get a sort of clear shot of a Meadow Pipit today. I always hear them when I’m out on the Cunnigar but they really don’t like letting me get close enough photograph clearly. This turned out quite well.
I was not so lucky with the shots of bees, but there were hundreds, and many different species so it would be a shame not to include a few even if the shots aren’t great.
Some floral shots from today’s walk among the dunes.
