Lesser Yellowlegs

It's been some time since my last post but yesterday I managed to get a few pics of the Lesser Yellowlegs that was found in a flooded field, last weekend, at Islandavanna just south of Clarecastle on the shores of the River Fergus.  This is only the sixth county record in Clare of this rare Trans-Atlantic wader.

I got back to Moyasta Creek early this morning to try and see and get a few shots of the Lesser Yellowlegs that has been present at the creek for the last week.  This is only the fifth Clare record of this rare North American vagrant.  There have been two at Doonbeg, two at Moyasta, Poulnasherry Bay and one Spring record from Loop Head. shots. This is my first for Clare and below area few that I got under horrific light and rain this morning.
