Buff-breast at Reenroe

Buff-breasted Sandpiper, Reenroe Beach, near Waterville, 4th September 2017 (Pat McDaid).

Another Nearctic wader made an appearance at the high tide roost at Reenroe this afternoon, found by local birdwatcher, Chris Nelms. 

Not a bad haul of waders so far in the past couple of weeks, and more westerlies in the coming week will mean more are likely.

This Buff-b is the 39th record for Co. Kerry.
