Headed out for the day to Arranmore with Rob Vaughan, Ger Murray and Chris Ingram. We had a modest enough return for the day.The best birds were

1 Snow Bunting near the lighthouse
1 Hen Harrier near the north east end
1 Woodcock
3 Brambling with the Chaffinch flock.

On the way home we had the returning male Ring necked Duck at Lough Shevagh.

We could not make inch levels in time to look through the flock but had nice views og the Whooper Swans as they came in to roost on the lake.
