    Great weather for it, isnt it?

    I've already spotted a couple of tall long legged polish swans and a few pairs of lesser spotted great tits.

    lots of unsightly older irish redbreasts too...

    has anyone else spotted any good examples? :D

    You'd have to go to New Zealand to get yourself a nice Roughed-faced Shag, though there are many on here who would disagree. :pac:

    Indeed...only yesterday evening a friend informed me that he had spent some time with a White-Throated Warbler, whilst in the past I have enjoyed the company of many a Southern screamer.
