Galley Head Birding

December 27, 2005 - poaching bam

 

oot with mr c in East Cork for a bit of a change, since I'm soooooooooooooo far ahead in the year list challenge. Highlights were 5 ring-billed gulls; 1 at Cuskinny, another in Cork City, 2 at Atlantic Pond and 1 at Blackrock Castle. No sign of any rare american gulls but the tide wasn't great. Up to 20 common scoter off Aghada pier and 3 mediterranean gulls at Rostellen.

Hi Col,
Amazing numbers of scoter in the harbour alright! Was out showing Dempsey around a few spots in Cork this afternoon, Spotted Red at Lough Beg the best.
