Muttley and I went to County Kerry to explore the geography and nature of this wonderful part of Ireland. We were totally spoilt by Mother Nature who treated us both to some spectacular scenery and amazing wildlife. Hope you like the photos.

Love the pics - likewise especially the boats - think you should be entering the Countryfile calendar comp at the very least.
 
I like the deer and the bat.

I think you should have put the bat on Muttleys head to give us an idea of scale! hehehe :lol: :p :lol:
 
Love the picture of the deer. Which are supposed to be the dodgy ones. They all look great to me.

Funnily enough, it could have been done. We actually had two bats come in on two different nights - both of them got themselves into difficult situations and had to be rescued (just call us batwoman and robina, folks!). The second one decided he wanted to use my head as a launch pad, so he crawled out of my hand, along my arm, up my back and had just got to my hair when Dims rescued him (or me, not quite sure which :D )
 
I think I'll call you Dimuttley when you're both snappers - can't tell the difference, gals, they're beautiful photos. I'm predisposed towards the Pip because I adore bats, and am SO envious that you got to handle them. The boats picture is exquisite. Everyone's right - you really ought to enter these up in comps, especially Countryfile, etc., they're really, truly, madly outstanding! Thanks so much for sharing your trip with us. I love the 'Stop Fuelling War' carter! :D
 
Ah I took a look at that Country File comp and its for the U.K only.
Thanks for the kind comments, I reckon bewteen us we have about 1,000 photos of County Kerry. If you have never been you should try it. Everyone is friendly, the scenery is fantastic, food and drink is excellent and as you can see we had great weather, what more could two gals ask for........oh and the racing was great fun!!! :D
