A surprise visitor to our bird ringing session this morning was a first year male Yellowhammer, a fairly common breeding resident species on Cape Clear until the early 1970's, the last one ringed here was over 42 years ago.

So devoid of passerine migrants at Knockadoon Head on Saturday that these were the best things I could photograph. Not even a Chiffchaff present.

Waxwing. 😍 Huge flocks of these around at the moment. Seeing them in bright autumn sunshine & with golden foliage still present takes some beating. #birds #birding #birdwatching #finland #birdsseenin2026

On this date I found Red-Eyed Vireo on the mighty Mizen Head, Cork. Fond memories. My only adult male Red-Backed Shrike found by The Farreller was also memorable. #irishrarebirds #birding #birds #birdwatching helhathnobirdies.blogspot.com/2025/10/red-...
