Saturday 26th March

 Another glorious, sunny, dry day - warm in the sunshine too.  However, very little coming in on the birding hotline. Best of the bunch was another sighting of Osprey which Mark Shields saw on the flats at Gruinart this late afternoon. He also had a couple of Chiffchaffs and two young White-tailed Eagles in the Gruinart area earlier on. A flock of about 40 Twite were nipping about where some of the cattle are being fed on the reserve behind Bushmills. Birding from the North Hide this evening was delightful - nothing rare, but the sunlight on the masses of Teal, Wigeon, Shoveler and Pintail was splendid.
