WILD
WATERWAYS A Celebration of Life on an Irish River Robert O'Leary
The River Dodder offers a serene escape into nature in
Ireland’s capital city. Wild
Waterways showcases
the river’s rich biodiversity through stunning photography and informative
text in Irish and English.
In our modern,
distracted world it is easy to miss the kaleidoscope of life that exists on
our doorsteps. Stretching nearly thirty kilometres from the Wicklow
Mountains to the Grand Canal Dock, the River Dodder offers a serene escape
into nature in our capital city.
In these pages, you
are invited to pause and reconnect with the teeming wildlife that surrounds
us – kingfishers diving, otters playing, wagtails busily foraging and
emperor dragonflies patrolling the river’s surface for prey.
Showcasing birds,
mammals and insects in glorious detail, these dazzling images remind us
that you’re never too young, too old or too busy to ‘stand and stare’ and
reconnect with the natural world in all its glory.
