Around Belfast Lough an adult Yellow-legged Gull and a Carrion Crow were at Rhanbuoy Park in Carrickfergus, the Ring-billed Gull was at Carrickfergus Harbour and three Slavonian Grebes were off Macedon Point. (Garry Armstrong, Ed O'Hara).
A probable American Black Scoter was in Belfast Lough. Initially seen off Kinnegar shore it drifted eastwards, last seen distantly off Holywood. (Colin Mayes).
Red Kites were showing well near the Dromara Hills today. At 12:30 a tagless Kite was being bombed by two Rooks on the Ballymackilreiny road. Later between 13:00 and 14:45 possibly the same Kite was circling east of Legananny Mountain. A pair of Red Kites were seen on the Rathfriland road before Finnis Bridge at 15:50. (Daniel Moore).
15 Crossbills were at Woodburn Forest outside Carrickfergus. (Gerard McGeehan & Shirley Dunlop).
Yesterday the Water Pipit was still at Cushendun and an adult Mediterranean Gull was in the East Strand car park in Portrush. (Neal Warnock).
Thanks to Stuart McKee for the picture of the probable American Black Scoter, to Mervyn Campbell for the picture of the Sanderling and to Wilf Swain for the picture of the Long-tailed Tit:
