Wednesday, 26 March 2014. One of three pairs of Great-crested Grebes.

TT's Birding Blog: Redpoll
http://ttbirding.blogspot.com/2015/04/redpoll.html
Saturday, 4 April 2015. An interesting looking Redpoll turned up in my back garden in Monaleen, Limerick last Sunday, 29/3/2015. It stood out from the usual Redpolls Carduelis flammea cabaret. That come in to feed on the niger seed that gets spilt from the feeders by the visiting Goldfinches. It had a colder cast to it's plumage and was noticeably bigger (approaching Goldfinch size) and bulkier. It also tended to keep to itself when feeding and coming and going from the garden.

My ongoing story of life as a Surfer and wildlife enthusiast on the coast of County Clare in the west side of Ireland and sometimes beyond. April 6, 2015. The Cliffs of Moher - photography and light. Possibly one of the most aw- inspiring chill out areas in the world to spend a magical evening taking photos. People come to see the ciffs from all over the world. Being local I get to see it at its best. April 11, 2015 at 11:46 PM. April 17, 2015 at 7:15 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 2 hours in Tac.

TT's Birding Blog: Yellow-browed Warbler
http://ttbirding.blogspot.com/2014/10/yellow-browed-warbler.html
Wednesday, 1 October 2014. I made the long trip down to Mizen Head in west Cork last Sunday (Sept. 28th) in the hope of seeing the Ovenbird that was found there the previous evening. Unsurprisingly the bird did not show, however this Yellow-browed Warbler that was found nearby provided some measure of reward for the long trip. It was a very bright and well marked individual, a fine bird on a nice day! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Birder and occasional photographer. View my complete profile.

TT's Birding Blog: June 2013
http://ttbirding.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, 9 June 2013. I paid a few visits to the Coonagh Nature Reserve in late May and early June to see if the improving weather conditions and easterly airflow would deliver any new migrants. Things were generally quiet on the migrant front though I did come across a pale looking Redpoll on the river bank at the southern end of the site on May 25th. Redpoll ©Tom Tarpey.

A Midlands Birder - tales from the lakeshore and beyond! An occasional blog on birding my local patch in the Irish midlands and sometimes farther afield, or sometimes just an " ad lib" about what's happening in (and to) our natural environment! Monday, 23 September 2013. Due to overgrown foliage and low water levels, good viewing over the site is quite restricted currently, despite access to the very useful hide provided by the NPWS. Access to the site is via minor roads off the N4 (Dublin/Sligo road, ju...
