On the western shoreline…rather distant ‘scope views but got some record shots at x60. Watched for 30 minutes till 20.00hrs when it flew out…no further signs in last hour.
Likely to have dropped in again but most of the area is currently ‘out of bounds’ due to nesting birds so couldn’t search extensively. 1st Northern Ireland Record.
