Ennis, County Clare, Ireland. Sunday April 12th 2026

Fiadh, running on a mirrored sky. "This might be heaven." County Clare, Ireland.

A triple holed Hagstone!! This stone is made of shale and these particular holes have been drilled by Piddocks (Pholadidae). Marine bivalves that bore protective burrows through specific stone types. County Clare, Ireland.

Sunset at the Cliffs of Moher. County Clare, Ireland.

A couple of Surfers making their way back up the Cliffs after a stunning morning on the water. County Clare, Ireland.

A Concretion that has eroded from the shale layers in the Cliffs and then been polished smooth by the sand and Atlantic waves. County Clare, Ireland.

Sliabh Liag Cliffs. County Donegal, Ireland.

A Giant Seafoam Snow globe. Big seas following Storm Isha and Storm Jocelyn have whipped the sea and seaweed along the coast into a froth. The mix of waves and onshore wind blows the foam up the cliff faces, putting on this show. Cliffs of Moher, County Clare, Ireland.

Steam rising from decomposing seaweed piles as Starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) feast on the Wrack flies (Coelopa pilipes) and their larvae. County Clare, Ireland.

Sound on 🔊 Ag Súitú - the sound of the stones being drawn back down the shore by the outgoing waves. County Clare, Ireland.

With Fiadh for the last afternoon of 2025 at the Cliffs of Moher - Hopefully catch up with you all in 2026 along the coast somewhere at some stage 🤞 Happy 2026 everyone ❤️ County Clare, Ireland.

Found on a stormbeach - I think I know what it is/was. Anyone got any ideas??

A shore tumbled pebble full of Goniatite fossils. County Clare, Ireland.

Humpback whale HBIRL102 feeding on sprats in Donegal bay. A couple of miles off Teelin bay and Muckross head. Kevin L. Smith @michal_mullaghmore County Donegal, Ireland.

A fresh, bright evening at the Cliffs of Moher watching the Atlantic swells rolling in. County Clare, Ireland.

"Upside-down Waterfall" Strong winds coming in off the sea hit the Cliffs and are forced upwards. When the wind meets this waterfall it pushes most of it up the cliff and back over the edge. Cliffs of Moher, County Clare, Ireland.

Clear, calm waters and blue skies with fluffy clouds - what a day 😍 County Donegal, Ireland.

Another look at the Sea potato (Echinocardium cordatum) or Heart urchin that I dug up recently. It's spines look like golden hairs and when they start moving I find them strangely hypnotic. County Clare, Ireland.
