December 3, 2007 - gnd & kp

A great northern diver graced Kilkeran Lake mid-morning but was gone by lunch-time. Unfortunately I was off ticking kentish plover  in east Cork at the time, which was nice! Shame it turned out to have been confiscated from an illegal breeder in Germany - what are the chances??

while de kp mite be feelin a bit de worse for wear, it is at least not in a box (unlike de only spotted crake that you have seen). Therein lies the difference, so no you can't tick spotted crake!!
