Whilst many birders were doing their best to find the intriguing goose from yesterday, well done to Chris, Tim and Keith for flogging their local patch today!
Highlights of a dash around County Down today included 2 Great Northern Divers off Kirkcubbin, Red-necked Grebe off Greyabbey, 300 Pintail off The Maltings, drake Ring-necked Duck at Lough Money, Red Kite, Peregrine, Kestrel, Sparrowhawk (taking a Starling), 10 Sanderling, 25 Twite and an Otter in the sea at Tyrella, 10 Purple Sandpipers, 53 Black Guillemot (most of them displaying) and 2 Iceland Gulls around Newcastle Hbr., Jack Snipe, Sandwich Tern and Carrion Crow between Ballyhornan and Kilclief, min. 8 Iceland Gulls, 1 Glaucous Gull and 1 1w Kumlien's Gull and a Grey Wagtail at Ardglass, Black Redstart in Killough (on shore at bottom of Quay Lane), Crossbill and Siskin at Tolleymore. Total of 117 was two more than last year's effort.
