Raro uccello africano avvistato lungo le coste del sud irlandese in “numeri da record”

Oh here we go again…. Climate change!!!

There’s an Irish fella on Tiktok who has some class footage of one of these fellas from Inismór this week! Class looking yokes.

Hoopoe. Really unusual bird, interesting to see. Surely they’re here in such big numbers because of the unusually mild March.

Incidentally, they’re relatively common in southern Europe in the summer, I’ve seen several in Spain

I’ve seen a couple of Goldcrests in the garden over the past few days. I’ve never seen one in the flesh (feathers?) before. Not as fancy as that one, but still nice to see.
