'Wild West Clare - From the Shannon Dolphins to the Cliffs of Moher' was launched last week at Banner Books in Kilrush. A huge thank you to everybody who attended, especially the guest authors and Simon Berrow, who launched the book and took us on a little walk down memory lane and highlighted the importance of books. A big thank you also goes to filmmaker Tony Whelan who documented the event.

'Wild West Clare' is now available at Banner Books in Kilrush and Ennistymon and online from the Bannerbooks webshop.

Early morning light at Kilrush Wood earlier this week. This is one of the very few woodlands in West Clare and was planted as part of the Vandeleur Estate around 100 years ago. It's by no means a native or old woodland but still supports a variety of plants and animals, unfortunately including some invasive species like three-cornered garlic and the infamous rhododendron.
