Bird News Tuesday 17th June

A Bar-tailed Godwit was inland at the RSPB Lower Lough Erne islands reserve - possibly the 2nd county record with one last seen in 2000 (Brad Robson)

The Hobby was still present at Montiaghs Moss along with a Red Kite and a Buzzard (Anne Guichard)

Following disturbance from a private helicopter, it is believed that the Corncrake is no longer on Rathlin Island (RSPB NI)

Thanks to Karl Martin for this pic of a Common Tern at Portmore Lough and Anne Guichard for the Hobby. You can see more bird pics at www.nibirdpics.blogspot.co.uk
