| Comments : | Along the pines on reserve from 5 mile point. . . . Doubting ourselves first 'cos very 'grey' looking birds with bright underbellys until reading from BWI . . . "Chiffchaffs from Scandinavia and Siberia can appear on autumn passage in Ireland, these being almost pure white underneath and brown-grey above" |
