Haven't posted on here for a while, but I've been delighted to see the Daurian Shrike and Killdeer in Wexford over the last while. Just the 7th Daurian Shrike and the first twitchable Killdeer in 20 years

Glad the Killdeer hung on for you Liam

Unreal shot of the falcon Daniel! Quite distant when I saw it

Absolutely perfect but unexpected timing for the appearance of this Yellow Warbler in Kent today. Sensational views feeding constantly for two hours. What a way to round off the year! #rarebirdsuk #UKbirding

Hoopoe from Cahore back in October #irishrarebirds 🪶

Most likely to see in NI at this time of year anyway. Portmore Lough or Lough Neagh are good shouts

Unless you have a trip planned before the New year, I have a feeling your next tick could be a Smew. Should be a few in the North this winter

A very showy surf scoter from Baldoyle a few weeks ago. #irishrarebirds 🪶
