Cheers Dermot. In terms of the Forster's where does Doorsu (think it's that, and comes on Birdguides as that recently) fit in - does this align with your directions? In terms of the Coot - what's the walk involved from parking to the area to view from - any obvious features in terms of where... -

Information Required Hi, I'm coming over in the next couple of days for the the American Coot and the Forster's Tern. Any tips would be appreciated re. best places to view at the two sites, where the birds favour etc. Also, anywhere good to stay in Galway? Many thanks. -

Thanks Dermot. Would love to get over and see it. It's been a while since i saw the Anglesey bird. Would be good if you could pin down the American herring Gull as well. Cheers. Steve -

Hi can anyone tell me how regular the Forster's is? it doesn't get reported regularly and I wasn't sure if that reflected its behaviour or that it just wasn't getting reported. Is it nailed on? Thanks. -

Hi, I see the Belted Kingfisher may still be around. They are usually long-stayers so I was surprised when it left so soon, if indeed it's the same bird. Just a quick question re. where it has been found, Salt Lake - is this worked regularly or is it likely to be a chance encounter. I'm just... -

Tom, I take it the AHG is still proving difficult? Is it quite a big area - Nimmo's to Longwalk for example. I'm still trying to judge whether to come over for it, given its current erratic performance. If I gave it two full days what are the chances? It does seem birders from Britain... -

Hi just wondered if the American Herring Gull is still as in and out as the records suggest, or is it lack of birders mid-week on site, or is it so regular that you've stopped reporting. I know a chap was over from England recently and it was reported along with the Forster's for which records... -

Cheers Tom - looks a bit hit and miss. I think I'll wait for a more reliable individual. -

Please can you provide any info. on how regular this bird is. I was planning a trip across for it. Is it a daily tick? How best can it be tracked down? How long does it usually stay until? Thanks in anticipation. -

Flight was booked for Tuesday just gone which I didn't go on as LBH negative since Friday. Please don't tell me it was seen Monday and no-one called it in. -

No news on LBH today - I'm assuming it's gone - just as I've got flights booked? Clinging on to faint hope that no-one looked today if it's quite remote. -

Thanks Tom. Booked on a flight next week so just hope it now sticks. -

Hi, hoping to get across this weekend, probably flying to Knock on Saturday, returning to Manchester Sunday. Can anyone recommend any good accomodation and cheap car hire around Knock? Also, any other good birding areas in the vicinity of the LBH would be much appreciated. Fingers crossed it... -

Tom, was coming on the thread to query how news can come through today on Birdguides from Nimmo's but yet no mention of the AHG's? I then noticed you had them yesterday (1/3), but they've not been reported on BG since 27/2. Not having a pop - just wondered if you guys were getting blase with...
