Buzzards at Adare ©Tom Tarpey

Two Buzzards were seen just west of Adare again this morning. The paler bird is clearly a first year bird while the darker bird appears to be an adult.
A Buzzard was also seen today near Granagh.
The first winter Glaucous Gull was on the pontoon to the right off Arthur’s Quay, Limerick City, again this afternoon.
The adult winter Ring-billed Gull was on the north shore of the river just downstream of Shannon Bridge, Limerick City.
310 Wigeon, 140 Teal, 28 Shoveler, a Pintail, 271 Tufted Duck and a male Scaup were at Lough Gur.
