Two. Dalkey Island. Presumed continuing Grey-bellied Brant (Intergrade) Branta bernicla nigricans (Female?). Dalkey Island. The other appears to be a dark adult male usually seen around Sandymount / Blackrock College. Can resemble Black Brant (Branta bernicla nigricans) at a distance / in bright light.
