David was sitting in the car park at Lough Gill, getting ready to have a look over the lake, when this juvenile Black Stork appeared, Circling overhead, it rose higher, still circling, and eventually drifted off out of sight, high to the NW.
The first record for Kerry.
Another (or the same) Black Stork was reported flying north from Dursey Island, Co. Cork, on the afternoon of Sunday 15th September.
