Dundrum Bay - mute swans, oystercatchers, curlew, herring gulls, meadow pipit.
Tollymore Forest Park and environs - heavy showers and sunshine. The main reason for going was as part of the BTO Heronry survey. Not even a heron! Birds seen - jay, blackbird, blue tit, coal tit, thrush, chaffinch, greenfinch, crow, jackdaw, woodpigeon, mallard & goldcrest. I explored the various rivers/streams in hope of a dipper, kingfisher or grey wagtail, all to no avail. A grey wagtail did fly in front of the car on the way home.
Still having problems uploading photos.
