I was told of a Mute Swan Blarney Castle & Gardens which had a ring on its leg and on Saturday Róisín Towe managed to read the ring. It has only moved 7km, but was ringed by John O'Halloran at The Lough nearly 21 years ago, making it the new Irish longevity record BTO BirdWatch Ireland EURING

Our first ring-reading outing of 2025 with 5 ringed Knot! All 5 were ringed in the UK in spring 2024, and now they're wintering in Ireland. One of these birds has also been resighted in the Arctic and Iceland! A nice start to the new year! BTO EURING National Parks and Wildlife Service

Few photos I took over the last three months. First try at some editing and I don't think they look too bad. I'm very happy with the gull and snipe photo. Canon R7, RF 100-400mm lens #birdphotography #birding #canon

We'd a couple of busy days at Bull Island, Dublin 2 weeks ago, managing to read rings on 25 birds! A summary of what we saw: - 17 birds (oystercatchers, redshanks and a bar-tailed godwit) ringed by BirdWatch Ireland. Some of these birds have been wintering at Bull Island since 2014.

A selection of photos I took recently. The long-tailed tit striking a pose was seen along the marina in Cork City. The waders were seen during a bird survey at Dungarvan Harbour in Waterford. I love the head pattern on greenshanks. #birding #wildlifephotography
