A fantastic find by Molly Bell last weekend of an adult Greater Yellowlegs was conveniently close to a survey on Monday afternoon. I enjoyed fantastic point blank views of it, and had it to myself for entire time, the joys of birding in Ireland!

I am looking forward to a short trip to Italian Alps at the end of the month with 2 friends. It is an area I have seen several Lammergieir before and we are hoping for a few close encounters on this trip.

There was an influx of Bairds Sandpipers in Ireland this Autumn with atleast 3 in Donegal. It has been a long time bogey bird of mine, so I was delighted to find one infront of the Tready hide at Inch Island shortly after distant views of another at nearby Blanket Nook.

A recent pic of the juvenile Harpy Eagle, this was done as a small thank you for my in-laws who organised the visit. I have a few more ideas roughed up and looking forward to getting back to soon.
