A wander round the West Cork coast today and a nice Ring Billed Gull at Ring funnily enough.

IWeBS count today. Some interesting birds - a big count of 105 Snipe at Croagh Lake, also a Siberian Chiff Chaff there as well, being the highlights. Altogether 24 IWeBS species plus Single Otters at Toormore and Crookhaven. 2 Black Throated Divers at Crookhaven.

1W Bonaparte's Gull very briefly at Myross, 2 Cattle Egrets, Fem Lesser Scaup and a couple of Chiff Chaffs at Lough Cluhir this afternoon and a Siberian Chiff Chaff right outside the kitchen window this morning. Not bad.

Elastica/MES for me
