Galley Head Birding

<%PhotoInfo%>

October 17, 2009 - bits and bobs

Didn't get out till late this morning, but walked straight into a male ring ouzel feeding on brambles at Shite Lane - shame it wasn't new for the year though! Dirk seemed quite busy, with at least 5 chiffchaffs, 2 male blackcaps and a lesser whitethroat, which was probably thursday's bird, plus a few chaffinches booting around.

Off patch, 1 spoonbill was at Ross, with 3 more at Clonakilty this pm.
