A Taste of the Balearics
A 1 hour seawatch off the cliffs of Ballycotton on saturday produced a single balearic shearwater and 50+ storm petrels....isnt storm petrel just the coolest name for a bird ever?...i mean cmon....STORM petrel....class.
Anyway...this was to be the most exciting bird of the weekend really.
A reed warbler made an appearace at the pool at pilmore...truly superb views as it hassled a sedge warber...nice compararative views showing all the features. Good fun to watch.
On sunday I took S.R. out to try and see these things again but no joy...too windy and sunny im afraid...
Bring on the seawatching is all i can say...Oh my my my oh my my my oh my my my my JULY!!
