I was in Fota Island Wildlife park, Cork last the weekend and I was really impressed at the photo opportunities. Mostly using my 55-250mm lens, I was able to zoom right in on the animals and capture the important detail. The place is unlike a zoo as there aren’t as many animals, but they give them a lot more room to roam around.

Notice how I am able to get really close up to the mother and child. I’m not really sure what animal this is but, these were literally lying on the path right next to me when I leaned in to take this shot.

I would highly recommend that anyone who comes to Ireland or is in the Cork region take a visit to Fota Island. There is a lot to see and there are great opportunities for photos
