Delighted to come across this Pied Flycatcher near home today - a scarce passage migrant in Ireland. #Birds #BirdsSeenIn2026

Could hardly believe our ears this morning, hearing a Great Spotted Woodpecker hiding somewhere at Kinramer - only the 3rd ever record on Rathlin! Eventually got a very unsatisfying glimpse of it flying off towards another patch of trees... hoping to catch up with it tomorrow 馃

What an evening for @daniel_weldon at Helvick! Much recent hard work rewarded with an outrageous find this evening in the form of Waterford's 1st Hume's Warbler!! An extremely early date for this mega rare Asian leaf warbler in Ireland. Photos by @daniel_weldon . @watbirds

It's already been an unusually good autumn for Lapland Buntings, but today was exceptional! A flock of 16 this morning, followed by a separate 3, then a final lone bird making easily our highest ever count here. Also a few late Wheatears and our first Hen Harrier of the autumn

The Baird's Sandpiper gave us brilliant views this evening while it was preoccupied with staying steady on its feet and then feasting on amphipods and flies swarming up the beach
