Besides the nightingale (previous post) we saw the common eider to our surprise. First female Eider, but later also a male Eider. I posted some photos in my pixelfed account.

Went birding together with my daughter. We went to the coast. While arriving at the parking area and lowering the window for a ticket I heard the common nightingale. I pick the first parking spot and we walked to the place where the singing came from. In the area we heard several nightingales of which we managed to see three. Half hidden, hard to photograph.

Was delighted to see the common Eider near the pier of IJmuiden together with my daughter.

During visit to a part of the Ring of Kerry we saw this barn swallow, willing to pose.

Unexpected lifer at the car park of Lidl in Killarney, Ireland. The Pied Wagtail!

Number of lifers seen in Ireland till now: 4 (northern gannet, razorbill, grey wagtail, pied wagtail)

Moved ourselves to the west coast of Ireland today. Not many interesting stops. One stop at an old viaduct was nice because of the river beneath: playground (building small dams) and birding spot (a kingfisher rushing by and grey wagtail catching flies)

Drove from Dublin to South Ireland. Most part is was misty and rainy, but did see and/or hear (like the common grasshopper) some nice birds.

If some knows what’s wrong with the room it’s beak. Let me know.
Edit: nothing wrong, it’s a sack for food storage.

A bird from above. The chaffinch sits on top of two deck boards. You can see the grey head with black at the beak quite well, with copper red cheeks and breast. The black and white tail and wing feathers frame the brown back well.

Spent hours in my local patch. Mainly waiting for the kingfishers. They flashed by several times, but were not in the mood to pose. But I can get used to sitting in the woods, in the sun and out of the wind…. Also I did find a cuckoo willing to pose.

A bird I often hear but seldom see is the Cetti’s warbler. Today I managed to see one. Unfortunately the photo is a bit out of focus… but it’s evidence!

The day started clouded but soon we had blue skies. Nice waddle in the local woods with birds and bees (well, actually wasps and flies)
