Some discussion today among Co. Donegal birders of the differences between ‘our’ European golden plover and American golden plover, which turns up in the county reasonably often.This video by @delboydonegal.bsky.social really helps, I think.

It’s not all about rarities. I’ve always been thrilled by the spectacle of a large flock of birds responding to the elemental urge to migrate. On a recent visit to Inch @delboydonegal.bsky.social captured this video of an estimated 1,500 Greylag geese.

While #donegalbirding appears to have given way to donegal cetatia lately, the signs of autumn are there. King of the patch @delboydonegal.bsky.social has caught a couple of passage waders - little stint and wood sandpiper - at Blanket Nook and Inch.
