More bad weather

Another cold weather front from the east brought more snow and heavy seas. This time I targeted Bray harbour for stray gulls, and ECNR for winter thrushes. I struck gold in both places, with the juvenile Glaucous Gull at Bray, and both Redwing and Fieldfare at ECNR.

The winds were incredibly strong, making birding very difficult, so I gave up at about 11:00.

There were a total of 7 Fieldfare scattered in with the Redwing flocks

There is apparently a hybrid Carrion x Hooded Crow at ECNR, and this may be it. I'll need to get a better view of the flanks to be sure.
