| Comments : | On the Galtee Ridge this afternoon a single Chough rose from the coll between Galtybeg and Galtymore before dropping north into the coum containing Lough Diheen. It was thereby seen to fly from County Limerick into County Tipperary and would appear from an initial check of the literature to be the first record of the species for both counties. |
