On Sunday I posted a view of Dursey Island (Dursey Patchwork) and was asked if I had a picture of the cable car that links the island to the mainland. So here we are, not just a picture of the cable car but other scenes all taken on Dursey, West Cork. A handful of people continue to live on the island, while many of the houses are now used as holiday cottages. One of the treats that awaited me was countless choughs, a freewheeling bright red legged member of the crow family that seemed to elude us in our younger years. Utterly fabulous. Hope you enjoy the collection.

When I’m lucky enough to visit Ireland, I will look back on your site to establish my itinerary! You could always work for the tourism board with your pictures!

The Tourist Board currently have an embargo on recruitment but ideally would like to work in that or a related industry. MM 🍀

The dog looks like he’s used to doing it! That last photo – breath taking!

I’d say he is. I think The Hound would be pretty nervous and he’d wait for me to get in first. For me the last one is the stand out one of the bunch too. Thanks for commenting. MM 🍀

Thanks Mick, superb – a fascinating piece of engineering but not sure I could be persuaded to cross in a high wind. I have been Googling but cannot find how old it is.

Don’t mind the sheep but I think a high wind would make me think twice. MM 🍀

Looks like a wonderful place to visit (or even live). I’d love to spend some days walking over the island, exploring, camera in hand. Love the shot of the dog in the cable car.

The only downside is that there aren’t any real beaches on the island. MM 🍀
