Description
Tory Island, County Donegal, Ireland
All my life I’ve gazed outwards upon Tory Island from Donegal’s shore. Capturing many photos of it with zoom lenses yet surprisingly, I only travelled onto the island for my first time recently. On arrival it instantly struck me! how much I’ve been missing out by not visiting earlier. Within feet from the boat, I was greeted with a sound I’ve never heard in person before… the elusive Corncrake bird.
After a short stroll northward, miles of giant vertical cliffs & fantastic rock structures rolled out before me! Caves, sea arches & colourful secluded cove’s such as this one lay scattered along the islands edge. All harbouring many breeds of sea birds such as the Puffins & Oyster Catchers. This may have been my first time to Tory, but it certainly won’t be my last. Tory Island – The gem of the north Atlantic Ocean
