A hint of Autumn
Birding this weekend produced no major rarities, however, there was a hint of autumn wader passage going on.
On saturday, A full adult summer male Ruff, a black variant bird, was present at timolegue. Just a tad of white on the forehead indicating the start of moult.
Sunday produced a juv grey plover, A 1st summer Knot, and a 1st summer Curlew Sandpiper at ballycotton, fresh in with 8 dunlin...hopefully the mega will pop in there any day now!
A brief seawatch off ballycotton produced a single puffin and good numbers of Manxies.
