Tried me luck elsewhere again today and was amply rewarded. Cronin and I did Ballycotton, in the hope of a rare wader. There were a lot of waders about with c200 dunlin, 30 sanderling, c50 turnstone and c15 whimbrel but bird of the day had to be the hobby which belted past, heading west. Tick!
4 swifts over Long Strand this evening was a welcome year tick for the patch (86)
