Wind and Rain!

Went out with Tom at first light but a strong south-westerly with squally showers made birding very difficult. We gave up mid-morning having seen little: Chiffchaff, Red-breasted Merganser, and hibernicus Coal Tit. I also probably saw "Fungie" the Bottle-nosed Dolphin in Dingle harbour.

By mid-afternoon the wind dropped and the rain stopped, so I went back out again, with a walk a around Ballyferriter (Tom had understandably had enough and went to Dingle aquarium with Michelle and Sam.) Saw little; a Snipe was flushed on the coastal path, a couple of Choughs were seen, and a Twite was found in a hedge; it's proving hard going!

No rare birds, so some Herring Gull pictures and nice views of Ballyferriter!
