Black-tailed Godwit

This Black-tailed Godwit was at Ballycorrick Bridge, Ballynacally this afternoon.  Birds do not normally frequent this creek in spring and it is much better in autumn when young birds gather here to feed in the soft estuarine mud.

Ballycorrick Bridge

Went out yesterday to Ballycorrick Bridge on the western shore of the Fergus Estuary to try and locate a Green Sandpiper for my year list, but to no avail.  There were small flocks of Snipe, Lapwing and Teal in the creek, all showing very well in the beautiful sunshine, as can be seen from the small selection of photos below.
