    An Osprey was at Lurgangren early this afternoon (approx 12.30, high tide). It seemed to fly up from the marsh, then circled round a few times before heading northwards along the shoreline and out of view. Also present there were 3 Little Egret, 36 Brent Geese, a pair of Shoveler, pair of...

    How come sand martins are so late in arriving in NE Ireland this spring? They've been in Nw England in good numbers for over a week now.

    A real shame! I was lucky enough to see 2 porpoises at the mouth of Carlingford Bay at new year, from Greenore - first time I'd seen them along that coast.

    Hi Snowy Owl. Sounds like a great trip you've got planned. I think the best guide you could bring on a trip to Ireland would be the Collins Guile to the birds of Europe (Mullarney, Zetterstrom etc) . Its pretty to hard to beat. There is a more recently published field guide to Irish birds...

    I think they probably are Fulmars. I saw one there about a week ago (see earlier post), so it's intersesting to know there might be a pair nesting.

    Definitely noticed lots more redwing around this week in South Down-and quite a few song thrushes too. Assumed they were escaping the hard weather in Britain. Whereabouts did you see the Whimbrel by the way? Great photo.

No sign of the ring-necked duck but lots of other good birds including peregrine, stock doves, pochard, tufted duck...

    Spent most of today in and around Dundalk Bay (Annagassan, Lurgangreen, Blackrock, Dundalk Harbour) and Cooley (Gile's Quay, Carlingford). Birds were excellent in between the snow showers, especially at Lurgangreen where the geese (greyalg, white-fronts, brent and 2 pink-feet) showed really well...

    Like the new title. I'll do my best to chip in with my Carlingford Lough and Cooley peninsula sightings when I'm back in Ireland. Planning to be there for next three weeks.
