"I took the short day trip to Tory today. Anton is still feeding Waxwings with fruit and I donated a plum and an apple from my lunch! Best birds as follows:
Eider 11 in bay, two immatures had orange bills so presumably were 'Northern' race birds.
Waxwing 4 in Anton's garden.
Chiffchaff 1
Redwing c.5
Blackbird 1 or 2
Robin 1
Twite 2 near magic bush
There were 2 Great Northern Divers in Magheroarty harbour and on the way out as we neared Tory was a pod of 10/12 Bottlenose Dolphins really close to the boat. On the return trip was a Bonxie, and again as we neared the harbour a pod of 5 Bottlenose Dolphins. The RTE helicopter was on Tory and as it flew over Inishbofin Island it disturbed a flock of c.150 Barnacles."
Thanks Chris..........
