January 30, 2006 - laugher in west cork

 

The adult laughing gull was at Rosscarbery again this afternoon, showing well, out in the middle of the bay, in with a group of cormorants.  An adult ring-billed gull was also present there. The female pochard reported yesterday on Kilkeran Lake was back again this afternoon (59).

how many laughers have I missed now??? Tell Claire I'm well jealous she got to see Chomsky talk. He's a genius. I downloaded his speech and an interview with Dunphy so it's on my iPod. Listening to it as I go into work at the moment. Off to Hokkaido on Thurs...can't wait. What else is new with you?

Hi Mark,
Dunphy, eh? He didn't make Chomsky sing 'Raglin Road' or ask inappropriate questions about sex, did he, or was that confined to his TV chat show...?
There has been a Franklin's in Cork too, at Carrigaline, but not seen today (found there Sunday).
