Jackdaw with pale collar ©Geoff Hunt
This pale collared Jackdaw was seen at Newcastle West today. While a white or pale collar is one of a number of features associated with eastern races of Jackdaw, e.g. the Scandinavian and Russian races, it is not diagnostic on its own. There is a lot of uncertainty about the occurrence of eastern Jackdaws in Ireland and western Europe. When they do occur that are generally mid to late winter records.
A Buzzard was seen today at Kilballyowen, Bruff (Matthew Lloyd).
