Bluethroat! :D

Had a really good day yesterday, saw all we went to Dungarven to see and more! Couldn't fault it - it was epic! Saw the bird we went to see, the Bluethroat, also saw Buff Bellied Pipit and Purple Sandpiper

Anyway - Bluethroat pics!

A relatively big twitch, with a few rarities (the Buff Bellied of course as well as the Bluethroat)... and this is what it was like!



We saw 3 other birders all day! I love this country!

Re: Bluethroat! :D

Your bird pictures are lacking in Doves Z (only joking and that's all I seem to get)

Another cracking set. Looks like you had a very good day birding, twitching, jigging or whatever it's called
