Here is our list for the 3 days. I was with Brian Carruthers, Thomas Kavannagh and James Hayes. Gadwall was only seen by Brian and Storm Petrel by James. I had a grey wader at sea heading east on the 14th. I was thinking Phalarope species but didn't see it well enough to call. The Warbler in Antons brothers garden on the 13th is proving to be a bit of a mystery. Killian called it as Dusky based on the video footage but then changed his mind on seeing stills. It was a very brown bird and primary projection seems very short for Chiffchaff. Paul Kelly reviewed the shots as well and is also unsure.
(The 'Dusky Warbler' has since been down graded to a Chiffchaff.)
