Thrilled to come across this male Orange-bellied Parrot outside of Melbourne last weekend. The species is critically endangered with only 21 pairs breeding in Tasmania this year
Long-toed Stint at the Western Treatment Plant, Victoria yesterday
The supporting cast wasn’t bad either… 6 species of Albatross seen in total
Got my first taste of Southern Ocean birding on a pelagic out of Port Fairy, Victoria a couple of weeks back. The stars of the show were undoubtedly the Wandering Albatrosses
A real standout for me in 2022 was getting to see the stunning Resplendent Quetzal on the slopes of Volcano Paquisis near Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. A supporting cast consisting of Horned Guan, Wine-throated Hummingbird and Fulvous Owl wasn’t bad either. Happy new year all!
Tikal, Guatemala - exceptional birding and nature along the trails surrounding the ruins and temples of the historic site. Highlights being Keel-billed Toucan, Collard Aracari, the localised and rare Orange-breasted Falcon and Spider Monkeys
Some shots from Cuba during October. A super birding experience with a total of 23 endemics seen. Bee Hummingbird, Cuban Tody, Cuban Trogan and Cuban Pygmy Owl
Great White Egret at Seafield, Bunmahon today. Found it from my sitting room! 6th species of heron/egret now recorded in Bunmahon @watbirds

"Walking with Wildlife" a new brochure on the wildlife and habitats of the Comeragh Mountains was launched today. Big thanks to @MountainIrl and the Comeragh Upland Communities EIP project for the opportunity to supply the images @teagasc @MunsterVales @Irishwildlife
Arctic Warbler at Helvick Head today. First for Waterford @watbirds
Great to see some migrants at Brownstown Head today. Best for me was a Pied Flycatcher, 3 Whinchat and a Reed Warbler @watbirds
Great to connect with the Red-necked Phalarope in Tramore this evening. Another top find by @arlojacques5 @watbirds
Juvenile Little Stint at Whiting Bay today @watbirds
Worth getting a soaking for these 2 juvenile Long-tailed Skuas off Ram Head this afternoon @watbirds
Unfortunately avian flu has hit the Waterford coast with several reports of sickly Gannets across the county today. This bird was on Clonea beach this evening. Not easy to watch… @watbirds

Sad to see the burning of the Comeraghs today one of four big fires burning in the region this one on Farbreaga and worse now..Hen Harrier habitats destroyed. @Irishwildlife @HarrierIreland @wlrfm @damienwlr @rtenews @IrishRainforest
A Dungarvan Kingfisher from yesterday
A nice surprise to come across this Little Stint off the bird hide at Tramore Backstrand this morning @watbirds
This Stock Dove showed well near Bunmahon this morning. An undervalued species in my opinion and yet another farmland bird which is in decline @watbirds
