Beautifull photos Peggy. Now I wish I was a bird fancier but Im afraid my knowledge of the flying creature is limited. I can see that the long beak would sugest an Oyster catcher though. Well done, keep up the good work. Maggie the Dub On 6 Nov 2010, at 17:27, Peggy K-B <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Margaret, Thanks for the suggestion. I've never before posted to Flicker, but I did post the image to my blog . . . http://ofthewing.blogspot.com/ Sending you to this web site, however, may "taint" the waters since my intent was to withhold commentary while gathering consensus. Even so, I guess birders will spot any errors in my analysis of the photo and set me straight. Thanks again for your help!

Hi Peggy, I suggest you put the photo on flikr + send us the link. Maggie the Dub On 6 Nov 2010, at 13:57, Peggy K-B <[email protected]> wrote: Hi! Recently on my first trip to Ireland (I visited Counties Clare, Kerry, and Limerick), I took this image, from some distance, of a bird. I spotted him in the Shannon estuary nearby the airport. Could anyone identify the bird for me? I'm not providing much to go on and do have my own interpretation but will withhold that, for now, so as not to influence any views. I realize this isn't a birding listserv, but I'm hoping someone can help. Thanks!
