Sighting Date : 22 Oct 18
Common Name : Red-eyed Vireo
Scientific Name : Vireo olivaceus
Location : Aran Islands
County : Galway
Number Seen : 1
Principal Observer(s) : Sean McCann Not Specified
Reported By : Not Specified
Comments : Went over to Inishmore today. Red-eyed Vireo took 1.5 hours to find as was not in public access area of Kilmurvey Wood, but an overgrown garden in grounds of Kilmurvey House (doubt anyone would object to the odd birder going in if they ask). Bird was visible from a partially fallen stone wall at far left corner of accessible sycamore wood, looking left into the overgrown garden toward the dilapidated polytunnels. Looked in really good nick and feeding actively - lots of insect activity.
