I had a phone call from Anton who reports at least 10 calling Corncrake on the island today. It's the highest number he has ever heard. 5 birds calling in the west and 5 in the east. There was only one bird a few years ago in the east end. Anton has completed a lot of conservation measures on his land at the east end in recent years and it looks like it's paying off....
He also reports a birder is on for a few days so hopefully there will be regular updates on Irishbirding...
60 mile an hour north easterly winds forecast for tomorrow so I have postponed my trip till next week...
