Pallid Harrier

I departed the Woodchat Shrike at Helvick Head to see could I get views of this Pallid Harrier at Ballyvergan Marsh, just outside Youghal in Cork.  In the late afternoon this young male bird made a brief appearance to four of us who were standing in an open area of the marsh to the south of the site.  I managed to snap off a few frames and got the following of Ireland's first Pallid Harrier.
