White-rumped Sandpiper at Black Rock

White-rumped Sandpiper, Black Rock, 22nd September 2017 (David O'Connor).

Possibly the same bird that was at Carrahane a few days ago.

Curlew Sandpiper, Black Rock, 20th September 2017 (David O'Connor).

Curlew Sandpipers are scarce this autumn and though numbers are highly variable each year, this does not look likely to be a vintage year.
