Early Morning Photography Nature Walk – Lucan Demesne

Led by Shea Kavanagh, this is a great chance to refine your nature photography skills.

The early morning nature walk this week will be on Friday May 2^nd in St. Catherine’s Park / Lucan Demesne. We will meet up at the Lucan entrance at 6.00am.
For those who find 6.00am a little early, they will find us in and around the weir area, which is about a 10 minute walk from the entrance up to 7.15 am.
There should be plenty to interest everyone with the flora and fauna along the Liffey bank and further on into the Woodland Walk on the St. Catherine’s side. For the early risers, we hope to enjoy the “tail end” of the Dawn Chorus and maybe catch sight and sound of some of the 30 varieties of birds that inhabit the park.
This entrance to the park is at the left hand side, at the bottom of the slip road off the N4 to Lucan. There’s major construction works being carried out at the moment in the old car park at this entrance, but there’s still pedestrian access. Parking is a bit restricted, so I would recommend car pooling, if possible. There is a new small car park opposite the T junction at the bottom of the slip road. Or if you turn right at the T junction and drive under the N4 flyover there are street parking spaces, on the left hand side just before a Bus stop.
I would suggest you bring multiple lenses, if possible, wide-angle /macro for the flora / fauna and landscape, along with a tripod. But telephoto for the birds and wildlife.
Looking forward to a great mornings photography.
