    wexford birding

    Jonahs, you can get all the news from Wexford straight to your mobile phone via @wexfordbirdnews on twitter. Currently there is Yellow-browed Warbler, AGP, White-rumped Sand, Buff-b Sand, Glossy ibis, and Bearded reedlings. Anything is likely to turn up there.

    Where to watch or photography Puffin (In ireland)

    The Saltee Islands off the coast of Co. Wexford affords a great opportunity to photograph puffins, guillemots, razorbills, cormorants, shags, gannets and kittiwakes. Best time of the year would be late May-June to see the young being fed.

    Red Breasted or Taiga Flycatcher?

    Looks good for RBF Stuart. The tail colour is also good for RBF.

    Swinhoes or Little Egret in Japan?

    Stuart, I would also agree with Sean and Mark that your bird looks like a stone-wall Swinhoe's to me. The bill shape and configuration, as well as the colour, is spot on for Swinhoe's. The loral patch fits also. A very nice find. Best Regards Mark
