Isabelline Wheatear

This long awaited 2nd Irish record of Isabelline Wheatear was found at Toe Head, Co. Cork on 24th October 2022 by a local birder, Chris O'Sullivan.  I got to see it two days later (26/10/22) on a very windy day, at what turned out to be a very exposed location.  As it turned out the bird seemed to be quite at home there and was still present at the site a month later.
