Bird News Thursday 3rd November

The Red-crested Pochard was still at Lurgan Park Lake. The Ferruginous Duck was also there although this bird may show some hybrid features. In the last few years there have been a number of male and female presumed Pochard \ Ferruginous hybrids in the Oxford Island \ Craigavon \ Lurgan area. Some are more obvious hybrids than others and sometimes the features are subtle!
4 Snow Bunting were on Slemish Mountain, Co. Antrim (Neal Warnock)

In Donegal, a Little Bunting was on Tory Island at the East End (Peter Phillips)
