The Royal Tern has continued its stay in NW Kerry, entertaining perhaps 60 or more birders from all over Ireland and the UK. Some have had to wait many hours though, as the bird ranges along several kilometres of the coast, though frequently returning to Beale Strand. It has already ventured briefly to the Co. Clare side of the Shannon Estuary, thus adding a first record of Royal Tern to a third county.
