Spent the last two days in at Roundstone Bog trying to get the tags on the unknown female White-tailed Eagle that has been knocking around with male Star. No sign of herself but Star was present giving great views, what a sight!
 |
| Common Gull. Looks like a third-summer due to the dark markings on the alula and primary coverts. The black/grey border along p7 & 8 aren't very well defined either. |
 |
| Adult Common Gull |
 |
| Great Black-backed Gull. Two pairs breeding next to Cormorant colony. |
 |
| Cormorant colony. Only 40 sitting birds present. 160 sitting birds recorded during the Seabird 2000 survey. I think someone pictured below may be having an effect on them... |
 |
| Four-spotted Chaser |
 |
| Four-spotted Chaser with Blue-tailed Damselfly. |
 |
| Teal family, I was surprised to see the male in attendance. |
 |
| There was a seventh duckling nearby also. |
 |
| Female Merlin just finishing up mobbing a roaming family party of Ravens. She would only weigh a fifth of an average Raven but they were still terrified of her! |
 |
| Redshank, first time I've come across breeding Redshank this far West. Right beside the main road. |
 |
| Male star White-tailed Eagle |
 |
| Getting a bit of grief from the local GBB Gulls, probably not the first time, he's been here since late March. |
