While it looks set to be a busy weekend for beaches in and around Cork, those of us heading for Youghal beach Sunday morning might want to keep an eye out for sand-artist Seán Corcoran, who makes images by hand by raking them into beaches around Munster.

Cork Nature Network are bringing him to Youghal Beach to make create a life-size image of an otter in the sand, to create awareness of the Cork Otter Project and plans to create a Youghal Otter Trail, highlighting local otter habitats.
