An exciting Palearctic record of a Whimbrel ringed at KBO.
White-JT was ringed at Kartong on 19/2/26. 73 days later, it was found by James Mcgrath, 2,730 miles north at Pilmore Strand, Youghal, County Cork, Ireland. This is our second record to Ireland.

@Rosena72923102 Hi Rosena, I'm the author of this picture, and I don't remember anyone asking me for permission to use it online without credit.

A nice illustration of how colonies are connected via this bird and thanks to @jan___rod . It was born at Portrane (co. Dublin) in 2021, caught as a nesting adult at Baltray (co. Louth) in 2023 and this year has been caught again at Kilcoole (co. Wicklow)!

Southern Bohemia today,rather crazy idea of trying to find Red-breasted Geese in flock of few thousands White-fronts and Greylags just with the bins,but scored again🤪

[Jan Rod official @jan___rod]

@BrianCrunchie It's definitely somewhere in the middle of pic 3,Brian🤣 Happy to see it just with the bins...

Walcreeper wintering site,Pálava,Czech Republic. Only 1-3 birds winters in the country each year. It was my bogey bird for ages,dipped several times some 14 years ago and never came back to try again.Until yesterday. Now big fat lifer ✅️

Literally first bird of @BirdWatchIE garden survey this year. Net up just to dry it out in the breeze.Caught and ringed under licence

[Jan Rod official @jan___rod]

Two great waders caught and ringed over last 2 nights.Woodcock was always one of my most favourite and wanted birds,and I never even thought about ringing Grey Plover!

@R_ichT @GrahamProle @BirdWatchIE @collieennis All 5 present this evening and 3rd sibling ringed CDZP. All good healthy weight about 10kg. They are becoming independent on their dad and flying up and down the canal.

Probably last two Ringed Plover chicks ringed in Portrane this summer.First at 35 grams big enough for colour,second one nearly half size 18 grams,but they are always hanging together,behaving like siblings and following the same adult🤔

[Jan Rod official @jan___rod]

@JackTynan393114 Kilcoole 250+ fledged, Baltray has probably around 60 chicks,Portrane 13 fledged. Good year for Little Terns.

[Jan Rod official @jan___rod]

@JackTynan393114 Still don't understand what you mean...are you talking about Little Terns?

[Jan Rod official @jan___rod]

@JackTynan393114 What you talking about??We had a great year...

[Jan Rod official @jan___rod]
