Brian Power was on Skellig Michael on 27th August, when he experienced a 'fall' of migrants. During the day in which he found and photographed Kerry's first Ortolan Bunting (see the post below), he managed to also photograph what he thought at the time was a Reed Warbler (still a good bird in Kerry). A sharp-eyed Chris Batty later pointed out however that the photos published online seemed a better fit for Marsh Warbler. Photos were hastily re-examined, heads were scratched, and sure enough, the longer wings and wing structure proved it to be of Kerry's first Marsh Warbler!
