<t>Yes Maurice, it\'s been an incredible start and a little surreal to be honest.<br/> From the humback off hook head, to thousands of guillemots off Lambay, tide races off Wicklow and the absolutely incredible display off the blaskets, I\'m not sure where the rest of the year will be like, but need...
