Galley Head Birding

October 13, 2008 - greasy grebe

Seemed quieter out around Galley this morning, after the weekend's excitement. There was still one yellow browed warbler at shite lane, and another in dirk, with 3 swallows & 3 chiffchaffs there. Still good numbers of goldcrests about, and a couple of flyover redpolls too. A 1st w great crested grebe on Kilkeran Lake this afternoon more than made up for not going to Loop Head for the philly vireo (132).
