Birds in Ireland

Hi all,
Yesterday at the Old Head of Kinsale I saw the Melodious Warbler which had been found on the 12th(my 2nd ever),also found singles of Whinchat and Yellow Wagtail.
Today had 1 Pied Flycatcher,2 Garden Warblers and 3 Whinchats there,no sign of the Melodious.
There was a Greater Yellowlegs in Co.Kerry on Wednesday last(11th),but I dipped that evening and the following morning.Did pick up a Yellow Wagtail overhead.(I might add for the benefit of British posters that Yellow Wagtail and Pied Flycatcher only rarely breed here,and Garden Warbler and Whinchat don't breed in Co.Cork(all are scarce but regular migrants).Melodious Warbler is of similar status here,and Greater Yellowlegs is,of course,a "mega" in both countries!)
A "Soft-plumaged" Petrel(prob.Fea's)passed Cape Clear on Wed morning,but I was on Galley Head at the time!A few Great Shears were the best there.
Fingers crossed for tomorrow,what may be found...?;-)
