A Carrion Crow was in Whiteabbey, a Buzzard was at Derryboye in Co. Down, 3 Red Breasted Merganser and 3 Goldeneye were in Belfast Lough. (Stephen Maxwell).
There are still a few Waxwings in Lurgan but most of the berries that they are feeding on are almost gone so they will probably move on elsewhere. There is still a large flock of Greylag Geese with some Whooper Swans at Derrytrasna near Oxford Island. (Noel Austin).
2 Raven and 2 different flocks of 50 Fieldfare were at the allotments along Monlough Road West between Carryduff and Moneyreagh. Another 30 Fieldfare were at the junction of Knockbracken Road and Clontonacally Road (David Clarke).
16 Pinkfooted Geese flew in off the sea at Groomsport this afternoon and a 1st winter Little Gull was feeding offshore at Briggs Rocks. (Colin Guy).
