Tried for that ring billed gull yesterday (low tide) and today (high tide) but no sing - in fact no gulls at all - when is best time to get him?
2 ringbilled gulls at castletown river
between the bridges
kite pic from sunday and ringer..
Is there a good website that gives tidal information because everytime I go out the tide is out! Although did manage to see Brent geese,shelduck ,redshank,ringed plover,grey heron,little egret,oystercatcher and dunlin, also seen three terns(dont know which type) flying south. There were plenty of other types of birds in the distance but my id skills wouldnt be the best. Still it was nice to be out and about. Ger.
I went for a walk along the the old barbed wire fence towards the point rd from the end of the Shore rd Dundalk yesterday 9th about 4-30pm ,and saw a Little/Great white Egret Flying about and then landing in one of the guts(revenes) on the reclaimed land,it stayed about 15 mins and was away again towards Black Rock ! It wasn't far off the size of a Grey Heron,but as I have only seen the Little Egret on the ground then I'm not sure.
