Pacific Golden Plover

A 1st summer Pacific Golden Plover was found by Geoff Pearson at Doonbeg, Co. Clare on June 29th, 2020.  It was a first County record for Clare and also a new tick for me when I got to see it on June 30th.  It was great to get such a rarity so close to home here in the mid west, as most previous records have been in the south east and the north west.  Coincidently I also saw my first American Golden Plover at this site several years ago.
