    Two Buff-bellied Pipits at Lissagriffin (Co. Cork) since yesterday, one of which had been found on 6th, with another bird found yesterday at Liscannor (Co. Clare). A scattering of scarce migrants in the Mizen/ Lisagriffin area yesterday included a Marsh Harrier, up to 5 Yellow-browed Warblers, a...

    Scarce and Rare bird sightings, Ireland, Autumn 2007

    Very little in Cork yet, but Red-backed Shrike, 2 Common Rosefinches and 8 rostrata Redpolls on Tory today, and 2 Red-breasted Flycatchers, a Yellow-browed Warbler, 3 Pied Flycatchers, a Turtle Dove etc at Loop Head yesterday. In contrast, the Old Head today only yielded a few Wheatears and...

    Well, Tory has the pick of the migrants in Ireland today, as predicted...unfortunately, that's not saying much, and the best there are a Barred Warbler (present since yesterday) and up to 8 rostrata Redpolls, with another rostrata at nearby Bloody Foreland. Any sites in Cork or Wexford seem...

    Scarce and Rare bird sightings, Ireland, Autumn 2007

    Probably one of the main reasons that Jim Dowdall has passed Denis O'Sullivan as top lister, to be honest...he was on Tory for the Pechora Pipit (which he found) and the 1998 Paddyfield Warbler, both of which Denis needs, and neither of which were still present when he got there the following...

    More cruelty...Tory is harder for us to get to than some parts of BRITAIN (we got across for the 2003 Black Lark quicker than we'd get to Tory, what with the 7.5 hour drive to the ferry port, and over an hour's crossing time, for the latter site), and doesn't tend to HOLD birds either. Of all...

    Scarce and Rare bird sightings, Ireland, Autumn 2007

    Nothing doing passerine-wise in Cork all autumn, except for a very brief 'purple patch' on Mizen last Saturday, with 1st-w Citrine Wagtail, Barred Warbler, 2 Garden Warblers and a Yellow Wagtail. I was in the area when the former was found, and still only got to Lissagriffin in time to get...
