Curlew Sandpiper at Kilshannig
A Curlew Sandpiper in winter in Ireland is a rare sight. This bird has been present since perhaps late November 2022, frequenting the flooded pools at Kilshannig at high tide, and the nearby beaches at mid- to low tide. No sign of any summer plumage yet, though that might be seen in a few more weeks, if it sticks around.
