Second winter Caspian Gull ©Geoff Hunt

A second winter Caspian Gull was found at the O’Callaghan’s Strand slipway today(Geoff Hunt). This rare Eastern European gull is a first for Limerick.
At least 25 Waxwings were seen near the Centra store in Raheen (Geoff Hunt). The birds were making occasional trips to feed on the rose hips in the old hedgerow on the northern boundary of the shopping area.
