Looking forward to greeting our guests tomorrow for the next Cape Clear Wildlife Weekend. Cory's Shearwater is one of many species we hope to spot! A Wildlife Weekend is worth putting on your 2025 bucket list👇 birdwatchireland.ie/our-work/cape-… Cape Clear BirdWatch Ireland 📷Dick Coombes

Cape is known for its rarities. Our guests may be lucky enough to spot the superb Western Subalpine Warbler, which has been recorded here on rare occasions! A migratory species, this bird breeds in the Mediterranean region, spending winter in sub-Saharan Africa. 📷Dick Coombes

While Oct. is prime time for observing seabird migration on Cape, current guests might spot some early Great Shearwaters! These birds undertake a remarkable migration, from remote breeding grounds in South Atlantic islands, to North Atlantic waters in the non-breeding season.

Seawatch from today - 1 Wilsons Petrel, 260+ Cory's Shearwaters, 7 Great Shearwaters, 22 Sooty Shearwaters, 3 Pomarine and 1 Arctic Skuas plus 10 Stormies. 2 sites, Eamonn O'Donnell and me! BirdWatch Ireland BirdObs Council GB&I Eamonn O' Donnell Mary Cadogan
