14 Arctic Terns were at Coonagh this afternoon. A Greenshank, a Lapwing and two Black-tailed Godwits were the only waders present there during high tide. Interestingly the roost was disturbed by a Fox today, the second time this has been observed in the past week. A Garganey was also seen at the site.
