Fantastic to see the super Yellow-crowned night heron at Belcarra today. Showed well pretty much all day, giving stunning views to everyone that came for it. Probably the best bird on my Irish List. Good to see @LGeraty9 and @Eanin1 also!

Great to see the showy Red-Footed Falcon in Co. Louth over the weekend. Despite the torrential rain, it still showed down to a few feet. Bonus Glossy Ibis also after

The Trumpeter Finch on Great Saltee Island today.
It was great to get such good views of this vagrant from N. Africa - Ireland’s first record.

Found a Beeater this evening At Helvick 😁.

Yesterday, after 2 hours of searching with no luck, I eventually managed to get the American Coot at Lady’s Island. Just the 8th for Ireland. At one point, it swam into a close corner and gave crippling views. Bonuses of lesser scaup and spoonbill

Delighted with these 2 Tundra Bean Geese in Longford today ✅ shame that the Taiga Beans didn’t play ball, but happy nonetheless. Great views

[Jack Tynan @JackTtwitcher]

A great day in the west! Started with Ireland’s second ever redhead, which was a bit distant in choppy conditions and bad light, but still showed quite well (in the pic you can see the peak above eye, steep forehead, and rounded head) and a Iceland gull in Limerick City

American Coot at Tacumshin, this afternoon. Co. Wexford. @BirdGuides

@AntrimLens @cianbirder Pin drop please

A very showy Snow Bunting on my old patch, Bull Island this morning

[Aaron Long @aaronlongni]

Tacumshin, Co Wexford delivers yet again! Went for the Bewick's swans ✅ and news of a Pied billed Grebe ✅ came through while we were on site. Fastest 100 meters I have ran in a while 😂 with @Bonsai_goat

Happy New Year all! An incredible year of birding, perhaps my best yet in terms of quality. 15 ticks bringing me to 265 for Ireland. Bird of the year is extremely difficult to choose, but has to go to the Isabelline shrike. Here’s to another successful year in 2026!

[Jack Tynan @JackTtwitcher]

@aaronlongni Thanks for the offer Aaron, I'll bear that in mind next time 👍 Glad you got it as well

[Jack Tynan @JackTtwitcher]

Having dipped this Bufflehead just over a month ago I was delighted when it was refound on Kilbrean Lake. After a 5.30am start, a four hour train journey and a 6km walk, I was rewarded with superb views on Saturday. The 10th Irish record ✅

[Jack Tynan @JackTtwitcher]

@MeathBirder Thanks Mick

[Jack Tynan @JackTtwitcher]

@BMcCloskey_98 Cheers Brian! I wonder if this is the bird of last year around again, or if that's the one in Wales? I think my twitching has become a little bit obsessive recently 😂

[Jack Tynan @JackTtwitcher]

What a bird! The South Slob 1st Winter Killdeer showed fabulously this evening. Great find by @stvieking18
Bonus White-rumped Sandpiper too

[Jack Tynan @JackTtwitcher]

@BMcCloskey_98 I have a feeling it could well do Brian... Here's hoping anyway

[Cian Cardiff @cianbirder]

3rd winter Caspian Gull at Rosslare beach this afternoon. Found yesterday by Killian Mullarney. Great bird and views to show my group! @BirdGuides

[Elliot 🐦🔭 @Elliot_Birding]

Brilliant views of the stunning drake Bufflehead at the Lake Hotel, Killarney, earlier today !
