Cape Clear
It looks too red and its tail is a bit too bushy for Grey.
I am just back from a great week on cape clear in Cork. The week started with an Icterine Warbler then Greenish and Dusky Warblers and finished with a Grey-cheeked Thrush yesterday.
Attached are some photos from the trip. There is some debate as to the ID of the brown warbler. Comments welcome.

in my limited research into distribution it appears that red squirells(up to 1998) where still present in a narrow band that stretched from the west of ireland through fermanagh,cavan,monaghan and into louth the current status may be flawed. as you say margaret, take pine martin for example not suppose to be present in louth but at least 2 have been victims of road kills in the past 3yrs in the ravensdale area and as you have made me aware off, confirmed breeding on the louth/meath border
