Tipperary/Offaly Birding (1 Viewer)

Take the R400 6km south of Rhode. Go through a staggered crossroads with the R402 Edenderry to Tullamore roads (petrol station here on the right). Continue south towards Portarlington. 1 - 2km along this road there is a small Bord na Mona works on the left with parking beside it. Park here and follow railway line running behind the works. Bird spends most of its time out on the open cutaway bog here. Half a dozen Whoopers and Mutes on the flooded sections of bog. It loosely associates with these.

Dermot,

Thanks for that - gentleman.

Belated congrats on your recent elevation too.

Now....about that flyover Marsh Sand at Rog....! ;)
 
Went to try and see the Garganey at the Cabragh Wetlands but no luck. Got a good view of a waterail and heard lots more calling. There were around dozen grelag present - dont know if they are feral or wild though?

Those Greylag are feral birds. They have bred in the past. There are a few flocks of them in Co. Tipp.
