| Comments : | This is not a report of a definite sighting of Eurasian crane, as I only had a split second glimpse from the train between Athenry and Galway, closer to Athenry, just now, and at a range of at least 1 km. Two v big birds, gliding in unison, necks outstretched, towards flooded fields. Def not herons! White stork a possibility but I think even at that range I would have seen more black/white contrast, but maybe not. I'm familiar with both birds from Spain. If you know someone in the area, they might like to check it out. |
