A first ringing demo for the newly founded SouthWest Ireland Ringing Group at Killarney National Park yesterday. A good selection of birds for the 20 participants, but a pair of Treecreeper and Long-tailed Tit were the show stoppers @NPWSIreland @_BTO @BirdWatchIE

After yesterday's fall of Hoopoes on the south coast, @daniel_weldon and I decided to do Brownstown Head this morning. Within a couple of hours, we had stumbled across 2 Bluethroats!! Also caught up with one of the Hoopoes later in the day. Memorable! @BrownstownBirds @watbirds
