    Tufted Puffin photographed off the NE coast of the US recently, picture here http://blog.aba.org/2014/06/rare-bird-alert-june-20-2014.html , about the fifth for the Atlantic Ocean. If that didn't whet the appetite for seawatching I notice the sea temperatures around Ireland at the moment...

    Diver Id

    Not wishing to start one of those discussions again, and purely for accuracy sake, assuming Lough Fea doesn't straddle the border, which it might as my geographical knowledge of Ulster isn't great, it's in Co Monaghan which is in the Republic of Ireland. And even if it was in Northern Ireland it...

    Bites and birding

    Owen I've been bitten by these *?#$*rs too this year. I'm told that loads of people have been presenting at doctors surgeries this summer with bites and Mosquitos are being blamed, mainly it's said due to the hot summer. I don't know how correct this is but I know that I and a number of others...

    Tawny Owl in Northern Ireland

    According to Irishbirding.com The National Trust have moved a Van Morrison concert next weekend to the back of the gardens to avoid disturbing the Tawny! It had better be accepted as a genuine vagrant after that. I wonder will he dedicate 'My Brown Eyed Girl' to it? Paul

    Buzzard in Cork

    By right this should be straightforward, Buzzards are common enough in Ireland now to see them regularly but this bird from yesterday is leaving me with a little niggle. The grabs attached are about as good as the views I got, it was just a silhouette on a murky day with no plumage details...

    Starting Blocks...Aquatic Warblers, UK...

    I've been trying to tape lure an Aquatic at Ballyvergan Marsh in south east Cork for the past 3 autumns and the conclusion I've come to is they're rare in Ireland! It might be a bit early in the autumn yet given that alot of things take a while to filter west, most of the Irish records are in...

    Ringed plover with Semi P plover head pattern

    Hi, I've been looking at Ringed for around twenty years on the south coast of Ireland checking for SPP and only twice have I seen birds with the SPP loral pattern. One was a big bird at Ballycotton around ten years ago where the pattern was clearer on one side. The other bird -attached- was...
