@IrishRail What is most frustrating is the continual wrong information. At 9am, no point in going for the Cork bus as train leaving at 9.30. 9.35. No point in going for the bus as train leaving 9.50. 10.15 announcement. Train to train transfer taking place. Not leaving anytime soon.

Monster swan! In 2019 I ringed a large cygnet. 10.5kg and wing cord 616mm. It lost its coloured ring in 2022 so re-trapped and then 13kg / 646mm. A chip was noticed on the Darvic last week so re-trapped. Now its 13.36kg / 656mm. We had to measure it twice!

#SandwichTern appeared today in Dun Laoghaire, Dublin. 🇮🇪 This one is from Northern Ireland, now heading south, probably down the African coast.

Tonight I recorded #HerringGull L60:D on a roof in Tallaght 🇮🇪. Not new to 2025 stats, as I recorded it on Lambay 30km away in June! #TeamGull

In Dublin 🇮🇪 the Common & Arctic Terns have fledged. The Juveniles sit on the rocks waiting for parents to feed. An opportunity for some ring reading.

All change in the Gull world. Dublin 🇮🇪. Large gull chicks mainly all fledged, starting to disperse and the number of small gulls increasing like these #MediterraneanGull from France 🇫🇷 and the Netherlands 🇳🇱. Here for Winter!

Found a post breeding roost in Tallaght last night 🇮🇪. 😀 100's of adult #LesserBlackBackedGull & 4 with our colour rings. They'll migrate soon, so fantastic to get the sightings. #TeamGull

Mopping up! The end of nesting season gives adults time to rest on the lampposts of Tallaght, Dublin. 🇮🇪. This #LesserBlackBackedGull was ringed as a nesting adult in 2023. Haven't found its nest site since but record it last year, same lamppost. #TeamGull #ColourRinging

Also at Seapoint, Dublin 🇮🇪 yesterday, Fledged Juvenile Terns being fed by parents. There are both Common & Arctic Terns in the flocks. (I'm sure there are probably Roseate Terns, but I didn't spot any). #TeamGull

Having issues getting an ID on this Fungus seen last weekend. Dublin 🇮🇪. Any experts that could give me a positive ID. 225mm tall (9"), Tennis ball size. Can't find a match in my book of common species.🤞

We ring quite a few #LesserBlackBackedGull but don't get many resightings back in Ireland. This one was ringed in 2023 in Clondalkin and in the heavy rain this evening was at @TCSTallaght. Only one record from 2023, seen in Cork on migration to Iberia or Africa. #TeamGull
