| Comments : |
Black Brant in a massive flock of about 5, 000 Brent Geese at Lurgangreen fields, (between Dundalk and Castlebellingham on the old Dublin road). Rings read on the pale-bellied brent indicate that quite a number have moved up from the Greater Dublin area, with two having moved there from Normandy.
