Redstart added to my Irish list today on Mizen, Cork thanks to @Victor_ Wayne and Sam for letting Theo and I know.

Great to get a lifer at Malinbeg, Co Donegal this morning and was there to 1230 when we left - I do love a twitch when time allows - Cork area next week for a few days to add a few more to year list hopefully
