South easterlies
Jl has left the island for the weekend, and the wind is howling out of the south-east. Crap for the fishing, but hopefully good for birding... There seem to be Citrine Wags and Booted Warblers in Ireland, but not here... how can this be?! At least with JL away sod's law dictates that something good ought to be found on the island, if only so he misses it. Here's hoping.
Recent waders at the meadows haven't been bettered since, best bird on the island being a bastard grotfinch (common rosefinch to you). Have been out every morning before work this week, and managed a few Willow Wblrs, a Pied Fly, and a handful of White Wags. Just not good enough.
