Davy Hunter and Rick Hoy 30th May

Re Irishbirding

Second calander Iceland Gull and a Greenland Redpoll on Tory yesterday.

Liz Mc Kenna was on today and reported an unusual looking passerine which she managed to photograph. She promised to send the photographs on to me. "Robin sized black and white bird with yellow bill and yellowish legs. Wings black and breast mostly white..."
