Common Rosefinch

 The visit to Inishbofin Island on 16/10/23 also provided an opportunity to catch up with some other interesting birds including a Common Rosefinch and an American Wigeon.

Black and White Warbler

I was delighted to catch up last Monday (16/10/23) with the Black and White Warbler found by Jim Dowdall on Inishbofin Island, Co. Galway.  The bird was as spectacular as I had imagined and looked somewhat larger than I had anticipated.

Cape May Warbler

 Here are a few shots of the spectacular Cape May Warbler found by Micheál O'Briain at Corrymore,  Achill Island, Co. Mayo on 29/9/23.  It's a first Irtish record of this American warbler. The shots were taken on 2/10/23.
