FfFfFfFF 58,133 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Birders are continuing to flock to Greystones in Co Wicklow after what is believed to be the first ever sighting of a Brown Booby in Ireland. The large seabird is usually found fishing in tropical waters in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. Niall Hatch from BirdWatch Ireland said: "It's a species that's supposed to be in the tropical Atlantic, where it's found in the West Indies and the Cape Verde islands. "To see one in Europe is really unusual. This is the first time the species has been seen in Ireland in a way that people can go and look at it. There's a record from 2016 on a boat offshore from the Skellig islands but no one got to see it. "It makes us feel connected to the world. This bird has travelled a very long distance to get to us here in Ireland."

FfFfFfFF 58,133 Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 In the end, they captured the bird in order to take care of it as they noticed it was becoming weaker by the day. Apparentely it's not used to fishing in cold waters and they think it got there because of a storm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
