Spoonbill in Dublin

DellyBelly

I see a rare visitor for Dublin has turned up on the Bull Island these last couple of days. I've seen them both in Ireland and abroad but would encourage anyone in the area to go and have a look. Such a beautiful but strange bird. Who knows it might stick around for a while like the one in Dungarven and Cromane in Kerry

It was there late on Sun and Mon but was not seen yesterday. There were about 20 people waiting for it at low tide in the late afternoon but it was a no show.

There is nothing worse than a furtive spoonbill!
