Adult American Golden Plover with Golden Plovers, Carrahane, 9th October 2019 (David O'Connor).
This might well be the same bird seen at Carrahane on 14th September (see post HERE), and again on 25th September.(see post HERE). If indeed it is the same bird, it has been very elusive.
Bearing in mind the black underpart feathering would be gradually lost with the moult into winter plumage, these photos do seem to show a change consistent showing the same bird over a month. Anyone prepared to put these to a forensic test and give a more definitive view? Break out your microscope and photo-enhancing software!
