Murlach Cattle Egret

A few more random shots from the past Autumn including Galways only second record of Cattle Egret. The bird was picked up by David Rees on 30th September down by Murlach. It hung around for at least two weeks.
A few shots of some of the returning Icelandic colour ringed Oystercatchers which will very shortly be heading back North. Also a young Peregrine which was unsusually perched on telephone wires.
