Bird News of the day in Ireland is the finding of a Hudsonian Whimbrel by Paul Moore at Mizen Head, a first for Ireland! (Irish Birding)
Many thanks to Mrs D McGimpsey for reporting this unusual bird from her garden in east Belfast! Wheatears have been seen in good numbers around the coast in the last few weeks but this is an excellent suburban 'garden tick'.
