The green-winged teal was seen on Kilkeran Lake again today, and a merlin was seen near Long Strand. The lesser yellowlegs was still at White's Marsh at high tide this afternoon.

The 2005 patch list finished on 136, with Fea's Petrel, Woodchat Shrike, Icterine Warbler, Hoopoe and Wryneck the best highlights.

Hi Col,
That's a damn good total for a limited area, though being on the coast would help! Hope you have a few more attainable birds this year: other than the Fea's, which I was away for anyway, the rest of your highlights were relatively 'common'...though I'd love to find most of them for the aul' finds list!

Nicely done boy!
An impressive site list. And an official member of the Fea's Fraternity (i love aliteration)
