BREAKING NEWS - Nearctic Fall on Cape Clear Island SW IRELAND
News is coming in of a WATERTHRUSH species, perhaps NORTHERN, in the
Central Bog area of Cape Clear Island (County Cork) (note that this is a very
early date for a migrant Northern Waterthrush in Europe although not
unprecedented). At the same time, birders searching for this bird have just
located a SOLITARY SANDPIPER at the same site, both birds still on view at 1130
hours.
Nearby, the first-winter female YELLOW WARBLER continues to perform well in
the garden by Lough Errul, at the west end of the island, and in County Cork
also, the male YELLOW WARBLER continues to attract admirers at Mizen Head
