Drizzle and fog hampered birding today. A few bonxies and arctic skuas were off Galley in the morning, with a 1st-w yellow-legged gull at Ring.

The fog lifted at Galley for an hour this afternoon, when 1 great shearwater, 1 balearic shearwater, 200 manx shearwaters, 20 storm petrels and 1 puffin were seen. Rosscarbery had 25 dunlin and 1 1st-w common tern this afternoon and there was a green sandpiper at White's Marsh this evening. | Other Irish news
