Trucks, ducks and swans all on the move!
Trucks, ducks and swans all on the move!
Broadmeadow Estuary, Malahide, Co. Dublin.
This picture shows how the M1 motorway bridge traverses, north-south, the estuary which is a substantial bird sanctuary. One major concern during the planning appeal process was that the bridge and the attendant lighting would lead to a significant kill rate for the swans as they came into land from the west. Thankfully these fears did not materialise. [My full sequence of shots here is 18. At 3fps the truck is travelling at 80mph!]
