Hi Richard, I was planning on standing on the Brownshill Staunch, but if you're going to be able to see that from where you will be standing perhaps I should...
Intreagued to see latest report on Birdguides, someone has suggested that the Ibis is a male? Any suggestions what the plumage differences are between a male...
Dudeguides strike again! I'm not aware of any differences (not out of breeding season), so would suggest that this is another slip-up (not uncommon for ...
