I am an Italian birder, member of EBN Italia, WWF and LIPU (Italian League for Bird Protection).
I am wondering if you could provide some advice to find some bird on my wishing list.
I am coming to Ireland for a family trip from July 18 to July 27.
During this period I will travel from Dublin to Dublin along the coast to see the most famous touristic places (Glendalough, Dingle Peninsula, Connenmara, Cliff of Mohers, Giant’s Causaway, ecc.).
Since this is a family trip I will not have much time for birding, but I should be able to have some short birding escape.
Could you indicate locations (easy to reach) where would be more “easy” to see (or to hear) the birds in my following wishing list (I understand that most of them are almost impossible to find without an intensive search...)
1) Roseate Tern
2) Artic Tern
3) Puffin
4) Storm Petrel
5) Leach’s Petrel
6) Corncrake
7) Twite
9) Grey Partridge
10) Red Grouse
11) Common Guillemot
Then (not lifer but nice to see): Black Guillemot, Razorbill, various Shearwater species, Ring Ouzel, Rock dove.
Thank for any advice and suggestions
My best regards
