Karin - Stranger 05/100 - a photo on Flickriver

A small flock of Brent Geese flew over our house last night so I headed down to Bannow Bay today to see if I could see them. As I was setting up my telescope I spotted someone in the distance picking things up off the shore but I didn't take much notice. Shortly afterwards this lady over to me & asked what birds I could see. We got chatting about the different species & then she introduced herself.

Karin was born in Germany, her family came as refugees to settle in Ireland when she was 10 years old. Her parents have a farm at nearby St Kierans. She herself lives in North Wexford.

I asked Karin if she'd agree take part in my 100 Stranger project & she was delighted, she leapt down to the shoreline & picked up this seaweed before posing from me. I asked her how to spell her name correctly & she explained she was doing a coastwatch survey & would get me some information from her car with her name on it. Turns out Karin is coordinator & co-founder of Coastwatch Europe. I had heard her name mentioned before from my dealings with Wexford Naturalists' Field Club but had never met her. She asked me if I would take part in the Coastwatch Europe Shore Survey 2017 & I have agreed to survey Booley Bay this week.

Thanks so much Karin, you are a great ambassador for protecting our marine ecology. This photo sums up your enthusiasm. I came away from our chance encounter feeling very positive about contributing to Coastwatch.

This picture is #5 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
