Photography License
In general a licence is not required for photography of protected wild animals or birds provided that there will be no risk of disturbance to the breeding place of any animal, however, if you intend to photograph a protected wild animal on or near the breeding place of such an animal, you should apply for a licence. The most recent example of rangers looking for a license is on the Saltee Islands where there is an increasing risk of disturbance of the breeding group for the Puffins and Gannets.
Its free and easy to apply for a licence forms can be downloaded from the National Parks and Wildlife Services
