At Corkey Point; Lough Neagh were 1 Tundra bean Goose, 3 Pinkfeet, 25+ Russian Whitefronts and 300 + Greater Scaup (Ed O'Hara)
The Rough-legged Buzzard was at Chapel Island, just south of Annes Point this morning, beteen 11 am and 2pm (Ed O'Hara \ Ian Graham) The four Russian Whitefronts were also nearby.
The presumed 1w Grey-bellied Goose still with c.350 pale-bellied brents in Killough Harbour. Tentatively identified by a process of elimination: too dark on underparts to be a typical pale-bellied; too pale to be a black brant; and with too much white on flanks, (dark) brown tone to upperparts and dusky bib not extending far enough beyond legs to be a dark-bellied. Possibilty of a hybrid cannot be ruled out but everything seems to fit Grey-bellied. If any photographers are interested low tide is the time to visit currently early to mid morning and again late afternoon to early evening. (Chris Murphy)
The drake Ring-necked Duck was giving good views at Lough Money, Co. Down (Frank Carroll)
The Red-necked Grebe was again at Herring Bay, south of Greyabbey along with 20 Slavonian Grebe. South of Gransha Point, a group of 6 Black-throated Diver and a single Great-northern Diver.
