Big Twite flock at Kilshannig

It's been quite a few years since a comparable flock of Twite has been seen in Kerry. Today, at Kilshannig, going by close examination of the photo below, there were at least 24, possibly 27 or so, along with a few Linnets.

There were 25 Twite seen at the Cashen Estuary in November 2010, but only single figure counts in Kerry since then.
