lens monday 24 april 2017 little ringed plovers and avocet this last weekend has thrown dublin 3 nice birds broadmeadows in swords always gives you a nice bird or two ever year and this was no exception as not one but two little ringed plovers were picked out from a mass of godwits redshank greenshank common sands dunlin and so on by 2 great birders agk and niall griffin i got up the following day and got to see both birds distant but they gave excellent views and always a joy to see them i also had a bit of luck while checking one of my own stomping grounds within seconds of getting out of the car i had picked out an avocet this is a dublin first for me as well as as being a first ever avocet found by myself in ireland i have two other recorded avocet sightings in ireland co wexford and co louth but they were found by other birdwatchers so making my dublin bird all the more sweeter given the little amount of birding i m actually getting done these day so a cracking weekend all around posted by james at 21 30 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday 10 february 2017 wexford a given at anytime i am restricted in my birding these days due to family commitments and an on going injury i have so to get out birding at any stage is a bonus i had a day and a half to spend on my own recently so i had to go to wexford and visit the wildfowl reserve it is a special place and one of the best to see wintering wildfowl the pick of the birds there had to be the canada goose very distant but good views through the scope the bewick swans also gave excellent views as did a water rail swimming across the pond below the tower hide there was plenty of other geese on view as well with barnacle greylag in their thousands brent also in their thousands and a few pink footed geese out in the bay there was some views of slavonian little and great crested grebes and a nice view of a kingfisher while in land tacumshin never fails to throw up the odd or not so odd rarity as in the long billed dowitcher and lapland buntings all good for the year list just down the road at tomhaggard i got to see and photo some of the 6 cattle egrets that were feeding around the cattle at the back of the hideout pub the birds of prey gave in a showing as well with buzzard hen harrier sparrow hawk kestrel and 2 peregrine falcons one of which looked huge all give lovely views i will be back again and again as you could never trier of this place on my way back i stopped at dun laoghaire to have a look and got lovely views of a black redstart i also had one in rosslare euro port and some med gulls so happy out so far this year bewicks feeding in the wildfowl reserve buzzard being mobbed by a crow the black redstart from dun laoghaire cattle egret in flight cattle and little egrets feeding in around the cows sunrise over the river slaney posted by james at 22 50 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday 29 march 2016 firecrest when i heard there was a firecrest not too far from where i dwell these days i had to go and see it it would not only be an irish tick but a lifer as well i set out saturday morning after i recived a call from a friend informing me that it was showing at the moment even in the rain and wind this was a special bird to see let alone get a few shots of so another tick for this year and heres to plenty more posted by james at 22 16 1 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday 29 november 2015 every rose must fade last week a fellow birder was out and about in howth looking for little auk when he stumbled across a first winter rose coloured starling these birds are normally found down in turkey but we get 1 to 2 birds every year these birds are victims of stormy weather and end up making land fall where every they can i had never seen a juvenile bird so i headed out the next day to see if it was still around sure enough after a bit of looking i located the bird close to where it was first found it was feeding on its own a dog put the bird up and i was able to relocated it on the rocky shore at the base of the east pier here it was feeding with a small flock of common starling i took a few shots and left the bird in peace the next few days it was spotted several times in around the same area so at the end of the week i got a call from a friend that he was going to look for the bird on sunday and asked if i would come along i thought why not it would be interesting to see how it was getting on we check several different spots but couldn t located the bird we had the black redstart i found several weeks earlier and a few chiffchaffs but the bird wasn t to be seeing feeding with the other starlings the next thing you know brian says there it is i looked at the bird brian was pointing at and i had to take a second look the week in ireland and the cold cold weather had taken its toll on this poor little bird my heart sank when it staggered towards us it was unkept looking a bit hobo like this bird was on the brink and there was nothing we could do i took a few shots as a reference to see if the difference was that bad the bird wasn t seen after that day so i presume the cold frosty night on sunday finished him off this was the last time i saw the bird it didn t look well at all posted by james at 21 42 1 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday 8 november 2015 howth black redstart given the amount of black redstarts that were spotted around the coast of ireland i decided to head out to howth in county dublin last tuesday as i felt one may show up there it has been a good spot for these little birds in the past and sure enough it payed off this time i had a black redstart within minutes of looking it was a bit flightly but this was down to the 20 or so rock pipits that were squabling over the many flies that were about also there were the resident stonechats grey wagtail and a few chiffchaff one chiffchaffs was a grey brown and its call was different to the rest but the bird was very sculky so i was unable to get a shot of it to my fustration this is the second time i have been robbed for a sibs chiff oh well maybe the next time posted by james at 22 17 3 comments email this blogthis share to x
