We did a whistle stop tour of the middle of Ireland on Saturday
11th May, to clock up a few new year ticks. We began our day with an
early morning stop at Mountshannon on Lough Derg to see the White-tailed
Eagles. Then it was on to Banagher in county Offaly for Whinchat and
Boora Bog for Grey Partridge. Next stop was across to Wicklow for Great
Spotted Woodpecker, Red Kite and finally ending our day at Kilcoole and
the east coast where we got Little Tern, Roseate Tern, Buzzards, Marsh
Harrier and lots of other common species. Not a bad day considering the
weather.
