Burruchaga

Hi all,

Could anyone help me in identifying the attached? Mallard cross of some description??

Burru

OpenYourEyes

It's a mallard that is domesticated to some extent i.e. one or more of it's parents/ancestors were a farmyard mallard or duck

First bird is male marsh harrier. Second is linnet.

Linnet is the 'bird of spring' for me, stuck in the continuing ice, savage winds and snow of the American mid-west! Can't wait to get back to Mayo shortly. Meanwhile my association (pictures of our birds follow soon) is to this, by the poet Longfellow:-:)

An old man in a lodge within a park
The chamber walls depicted all around With portraiture of huntsman, hawk, and hound
And the hurt deer.

He listen'th to the lark
Whose song comes with the sunshine through the dark
Of painted glass in leaden lattice bound
He listen'th and he laugh'th at the sound
Then write'th in a book like any clerk.

He is the poet of the dawn, who wrote The Canterbury Tales
And his old age
Made beautiful with song
And as I read I hear the crowing cock.
I hear the note of lark and linnet
And from every page
Rise odors of ploughed field and flowery mead.

This fella kept popping up from behind a fence. I spent ages trying to get a good shot away. And then I got lucky

Heard, saw and shot my first Cuckoo of the year!

First time in a good while to get any shots of a Buzzard. This one got mobbed by a Hooded Crow, but gave as good as it got.

I was at this same site for a few hours on Wednesday, but there was no sign of any there then.

I see on Irish Birding there are 2 records for Donegal in the past few days; in Burtonport and Gweedore.
