A new apprentice for the Dark side
On saturday took young Sean Roynane down wexford way on a bit of a year listing trip, nabbing water pipit at kilmeaden along the way!
The north slob produced White fronted goose, Whooper swan, Bewicks swan, American wigeon.
Curracloe had 9 Slavonian grebes, 2 black necked grebes and one red necked grebe.
On to ladys island and tacumshin where we got Ruddy duck, hen harrier and short eared owl.
9 year ticks for me there and 18 lifers for Sean.
On sunday went down cobh and got Black redstart.
Then onto bally cotton where we got cracking views of Spotted redshank and Forsters tern, which was just 12 feet or so off shore.
A very good weekend with 11 year ticks.
Strong am i with the force!
