Bottlenose dolphins a frequent delight along the Kerry coast

IT should be no surprise that we choose the bottlenose dolphin as one of the special species of Kerry, not just because of Fungie, but because of the considerable numbers of bottlenose dolphin that can frequently be seen off the Kerry coast. They are probably the most abundant dolphin species we have and are one of 24 species of cetacean (whales, dolphins and porpoise) found in Irish waters. Dr. Simon Berrow and his colleagues in the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group have done wonderful work in highlighting the number of cetacean species in Irish water and their website can be found at www.iwdg.ie Bottlenose dolphins are frequently observed around...

The summer’s getting shorter

Meanderng away, though the days are shortening now and the apples on Maisie's old apple trees in the garden are becoming red-cheeked with the rapid approach of autumn, I am drawn again to Murrisk at the base of Croagh Patrick for the enduring fairytale that is Reek Sunday and the pilgrimage to the summit and Mass in the wee oratory up there that is the closest Mass to paradise in Ireland.I've been up there more than 20 times, maybe 30, always in the line of reporting duties for newspapers and magazines now long gone, and it is my firm intent to climb the holy mountain again.I put on my boots and take my pilgrim's staff and put Ciara's leather...

In fact, Pat’s brothers – John, Chris and Tom – are past winners of the Kenmare Brothers’ Classic. ...

A wet day at the Reeks

GO IRELAND : It may not be his idea of a perfect day out, but BRIAN O'CONNELL enjoys his first-ever hiking experience on Kerry’s highest mountain FOR SOME people, the perfect way to mark the weekend is to pull on a muddy pair of hiking boots and hit the great outdoors. I’m not one of those people. Suffering from a fear of heights and general physical exertion while on holidays, my idea of a day out is a day in. So, it was with a certain sense of trepidation and reluctance I went on my first-ever hiking experience in Ireland a few weekends back as part of a new initiative in Kerry entitled “Trek on the Reeks”.
