Bird News Monday 22nd November

The Ferruginous Duck was still at Corbet Lough outside Banbridge. Also 12 Whooper Swan there. There was also a hybrid with the Tufted Duck (Pochard x Tufted?).
Circa 50 Waxwing were on show opposite Cutters Wharf, Stranmillis. In the sunshine, the birds were largely hawking insects over the Lagan as opposed to feeding on the considerable berry crop.

In Donegal a Black-necked Grebe was at Dunfanaghy New Lake, along with two Pink footed Geese. Fanad Head had 100+ Eider, 51 Long-tailed duck and 3 Snow Bunting. (D Breen).
