Hi,

On October 5th I saw a flock of 20-30 large white birds flying in formation over the sea. They seemed to fly from Donabate/Lusk area to Howth (i.e. heading South a long the East coast). They were too far out to sea to see any identifying marks. They looked like domestic geese, but they surely couldn't have been. Anyone know what they might have been?

Interestenly I saw 5/6 this morning. I assumed they were swans but could have been something else. This wasnt out to sea though but in the city.
