July 3, 2009 - a bit more like it.... |
| A decent wee south-westerly blow this evening so headed out to Galley, and was duly rewarded with a fine cory's shearwater, more or less the first bird in the scope (101)! A steady trickle of them past over the next hour and a half, with a wee rush towards the end, resulting in a final tally of 37, plus 1 storm petrel and 2 puffins. Not a bad start to the seawatch season - there'll be a few folk out fIrst thing I'd say. |

July 1, 2009 - a strange day.... |
Lets just say that 2 collared doves on patch on the way to kerry (to dip on the caspo tern there, or not there, as it turned out) were the best things I saw today. Its definately time to give up twitching! |

Seawatching season starts tomorrow - yippee! No sign of any impending south-westerlies yet though, but you never know.... |

Still no birds on patch so here's a pic of a male keeled skimmer that I took in Kerry last week. The seawatching will be starting very soon, with any luck!

June 21, 2009 - bring on the fish |
| No birds today but a minimum of 6 bottlenose dolphins were feeding and splashing around close in at Long Strand all day - they don't normally hang around so long. |
