  1. ParisNorway

    Tralee Bay Wetlands, Ireland (June) - are these blurry photos identifiable as common shelduck?

  2. ParisNorway

    Shannon Estuary, Ireland (June) - common whimbrel?

    I'm still not sure whether I'm interpreting body proportions and bill size correctly. Photos: Bonus question: are these bar-tailed godwits?
  3. ParisNorway

    Cliffs of Moher (Ireland) - red-billed choughs?

    I'm not familiar with the species, but I think you can (barely) make out their red features in the images? They also behaved as description said - acrobatic flight, with squeaky calls somewhat similar to jackdaws.

    Cliffs of Moher (Ireland) - razorbills or guillemots/murres?

    I'm leaning towards group A being common guillemots, group B being razorbills. Photo of group A: Photo of group B: Bonus question, is this bird recognizable as great black-backed gull?

    Ballykelly Marsh, Northern Ireland (June) - rock pipit?

    I'm somewhat new to recognizing pipits, so go easy on me :) The bulkier bill and darker reddish legs are suggestions towards rock pipit in my opinion. Two photos:

    Unidentified moth? Northern Ireland May 2019 (No photo, only description)

    I can't find where to put this, so here it is in this forum, sorry Me and my sisters were in the garden one balmy May afternoon, when a huge dark moth decided to land on our clematis plant. I have not seen one before or after like it. It was huge, but sadly did not spread it's wings, and a...

  19. What kind of gull is this?

    What kind of gull is this?

    Spotted this in Dunmore East on the south coast if Ireland. Certainly doesn't look like an immature Herring/GBBG to me. Is it maybe an Iceland or Glaucous gull? Both of these species have been known to winter in Ireland. Any help ID'ing this would be great. Thanks a lot, C
