Was da bei Ebbe weiß im Seetang leuchtete, hielt ich erst für ein Stück Plastik.
Beim Näherkommen jedoch …😲

We took a hike up the Carrigfadda Hill Walk today, and the view from the top was spectacular. #mastodaoine #westcork

Scherbenglück

Wie eine kleine Belohnung fürs Tun: Beim Sammeln von Plastikmüll an einem irischen Strand (es war erfreulich wenig) fand ich diese kleine Scherbe für meine Sammlung.Vogelkundlich leider recht ahnun…

Not for the first time, ‘after’ the storm has wilder presence than the storm.

Woken by the wind gusting the trees in to action.

No birds are out fighting their way yet.

Thunder & lightning.

This doesn’t come with a warning.

👩‍🍳 Während Storm Amy heranrast und schon ordentlich pfeift, backe ich eine Pizza.

Ich hoffe nur, der Strom fällt nicht wieder aus, bevor sie gebacken ist.

Die beiden Radierungen stammen von Gertrude Degenhardt, die Irland eng verbunden war und sicher manchen Sturm hier miterlebte.

Our house is bounded by a river on one side, and during heavy rain, like what we’re having, it swells and turns into a rapidly flowing monster. Luckily, our home is just above the river, so we’ve never flooded, but it’s amazing to see it. #mastodaoine #stormamy #westcork #alttext

Sitting outside in the calm, quiet, very mild ~13C, 3 am of West Cork with a mug of coffee is all very calm before the storm stuff.

I can hear the sea.

The first drops of rain will fall soon.

Storm Amy is a couple of hours away.
