Lovely video of all the Birdies and not to forget the Seal ❤

[@eddieforde]

Thanks Pia, was delighted when the seal made the special appearance towards the end of the day. 🦭 👍

Our existence would be nothing without the birds! And the odd Tobernone thrown in there as well...

Lovely video and absolutely wonderful photographs, capturing nature at its finest.

[@eddieforde]

Thanks Jude, Glad you enjoyed it 😬

[@patoneill1732]

Good stuff. Gannets put on a nice air show.

[@eddieforde]

They sure do Pat, took a few mins to determine the pre dive manoeuvre, but once figured out it was great to watch. Still had loads of missed shots, but it was good craic. 👍

Thanks for deciding to put this up . . . it's superb!

[@eddieforde]

thanks David. I had been looking thru the clips for the last while and decided to try put it together. Think it turned out alright and reminds of the really nice day out it was. 👍

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

That was 5 minutes of bliss 👏👏

[@eddieforde]

thanks Darren, that's how I role 😉 . It was the perfect day for it. I was in a t-shirt for the day and met two Spanish ladies coming down from the watchtower wearing jackets 🤪, so maybe not as warm as I thought :😃

[@Andrew.........]

That's a really nice video, Eddie. Lots of lovely sounds of nature. Very nicely captured. 👍

[@eddieforde]

Glad you enjoyed it Andrew, It's nice to be able to get the sounds alright without the wind noise making things difficult.. .👍

[@eddieforde]

Thanks very much Edward, glad you enjoyed it. A nice relaxing day out in great weather, what more could you ask for 😀

[@chrismoose64]

Very nice ornithological interlude, Eddie. Congrats on the 1k subs mate.

[@eddieforde]

Thank you kindly Chris! and yes 1k 🤯, would never have thought of getting that when I started out just walking around this fantastic landscape... 😀👍

[@briankenrick1309]

Nice one Eddie. Bit of a change for you and probably easier on the legs.

[@eddieforde]

Thanks Brian, always enjoyable watching the birds do their thing (oh my, did I just say that 🤓), those gannets were a right bonus at the end.. 😀

[@briankenrick1309]

Magnificent bird. Watched them in action in Dingle Bay near the Lighthouse last year. I see you teamed up with Darren Spoonley recently. Another lover of theDingle peninsula.

[@eddieforde]

@briankenrick1309 they were relatively close to the shore and even without the long Lens you could watch them. It was brilliant tbh. Yea, met Darren by pure luck below, just both happened to be down there. As you say, we both love the place so it was going to happen at some stage I suppose. 😬

[@denisoflynn7386]

Hi Eddie, Brilliant video and photographs even without your melodious tones !! Nice to hear the natural sounds of the water and the birds in the background. Can I ask what lens you were using?

[@eddieforde]

Thanks Denis, must be something up with the autocorrect “melodious tones” 🤣🤣 Lens is the RF100-500, and also had the 1.4 teleconverter. I was swapping 1.4 all day so no idea when I was using it for the video. I picked it up when I was in Australia, was discounted, good exchange rate and claimed tax back when leaving Oz. It’s incredibly impressive and am delighted with it. If you have any other questions fire away. 👍
