May 14, 2006 - red-rumped swallow ya bas!

Very quiet at Galley this morning, with only a couple of chiffchaffs (new in?) in Dirk Bay. However, news of a red-rumped swallow at the Old Head of Kinsale brightened things up a bit - cracking bird it was too (only 11 behind ya now, mc!). The female marsh harrier was still present at Garretstown Marsh.

not only do you pull one back on me irish list, but you also jammed in on the cork list. still need it for the cork list. bollix. could have done with the broad-billed sand as well. Ah well, at least I got Green Pigeon now...sigh.

Hope all's good with the missus. must have a chat soon as it's been ages. just home from work so off to bed. nightmare. hopefully things will pick up for you on the migs front. was the harrier a galley tick aswell??

Col, I'll have to watch you on me Cork list now, dipping the swallow leaves me on 274 for the county. Amazingly, still don't have Black-throated Diver in Cork, though I think I had untickable views of one on the bird race a few years ago that ye had later in the same area.
Have Marsh Harrier on my finds list already (3 or more found), nice one to add to one's finds list alright.
