Great to hear from @NealWarnock that there was a juvenile Curlew Sandpiper in Mill Bay this afternoon! Luckily still there this evening rummaging around in the rotting seaweed with Dunlins and Ruddy Turnstones. Just the third record for Rathlin and the first since Sep 2022
🎉The 2024 Rathlin Bird Report is here!
Another action-packed year of birding on the island, with no shortage of good stuff to cram into our 7th annual report. Available now at https://t.co/IejFGy1o7S
Well this was a nice surprise for a dreary afternoon - RING-NECKED DUCK, a new bird species for Rathlin! Cannily predicted by @NealWarnock, except it happened to be just up the road on Craigmacagan Lough 😄
