Thank you so much for your orders! Posters are heading to destinations on 5 continents! Any interest from Africa/Antarctica? My offer lives for 1 more week: if you retweet this post, I will put your name in a hat, and draw a winner, and paint one bird from the poster for you.

Reasonable weekend with Iberian Chiffchaff, Cape May Warbler, Whinchat and finding my first Corncrake in Cork since 1980. Strange days…

Having been ringed as a nestling at Ballybranigan in East Cork on 16th May, Chough SJA was found predated on the top of Temple Hill, Templemichael in Limerick on 24th July. 58km north heading well inland. Amazing insights into juvenile dispersal @NPWSIreland @_BTO @BirdWatchIE
