Ring Necked Duck and Dark Bellied Brent

This Dark Bellied Brent was one of four yesterday seen at Killough Harbour Co. Down. They comprised two adults and two juveniles and may well have been a family party. The photo above shows a good comparison with a Pale Bellied Brent

This individual is one of the juveniles (last summers young)


This male Ring Necked Duck was present on both friday and saturday at Portmore Lough RSPB Reserve Co.Antrim


This bird could well have been one of the two present at nearby Oxford Island NNR Co.Armagh the previous weekend.
