Spotted Flycatcher and Peregrine Falcon

I took a spin out to my local woods over the weekend to see if I could spot any Spotted Flycatchers. I found a pair busy collecting food for their chicks so I was well pleased with that. While there I also had a pair of Jays and all the usual suspects. On sunday afternoon I decided to take a spin down the kerry way. I had a great days birding around kerry head with a pair of Peregrine Falcons been the highlight of the afternoon. Along with the falcons I had Rock Dove, Reed Bunting, Stonechat, Chough, Fulmar, Guillemot, Gannet, Manx Shearwater, White-throat and lots of Rock and Meadow Pipits to boot.
