Clare Bird Sightings

Thursday 1st December 2022

A female Goshawk was seen near Rockfield, Rathkeale today (John N Murphy). This is the first published record of the species in modern times. They were known to breed in the County in the 16th century, however the only report of the species in modern times is an unpublished claim of a bird in the Ballyhoura Mts in 2012.
A male Great Spotted Woodpecker was seen and photographed at Curraghchase (JNM).
Buzzards were at Ardagh and Kildimo (JNM).
Two Buzzards were at Dromin (TT).
