Back in Dublin!

Today myself, the beast and the ould fella went up to cruisetown in search of the Forsters tern.

Two female velvet scoter were off the south end of cruisetown, but we never connected with the tern.

6 greenland White fronted geese were with the greylags at dromiskin.
Numerous buzzards knocking around (missed those).
With a male and female merlin also here.

A drake long tailed duck was distant off salterstown.

We then heard of the hen harrier at rog and 2 slav grebes and a long tailed duck at swords.
The hen harrier was immediately present just off turvey drive at rog.
We then moved on to swords were we saw the long tailed duck, and saw not 2 but 3 slavonian grebes at swords.

Not a bad day.
