Bird News Thursday 25th March

Yesterday a Long-tailed Skua was at Belfast International Airport (Jim Kitchen). The bird is still present today although it is frequenting an area of the airport that is not accessible. Interestingly, a Long-tailed Skua was at Bristol Airport, 12th - 14th March.

This morning a Pink-footed Goose flew over Orlock and 9 Twite were at nearby Sandeel Bay. (Richard Weyl)

We would like to pass on our best wishes to Ric and Hazel who are leaving Rathlin this week to return to England. Since arriving on Rathlin their sightings have been a regular feature on this Blog. Their welcome to birders visiting the island has been greatly appreciated. We wish them all the best in their next venture and hope that they will still return some day soon!
