I was down a Spanish point doing a bit of Surfing, The Easterly wind had blown up and the ocean became un-surfable.
I was making my way back to Lahinch along the coast road near Reneen when birds in the air along the coast caught my eye and one was massive, I knew instantly it was a White Stork. It was being mobbed by Hooded Crows and Starlings as it struggled to stay overland .
I pulled the car in as I followed and got a few photos as the bird battled the wind, again we moved along a few hundred metres to the next pull in as the Stork lifted banked back over my self and over Moyhill.
An incidental sighting and a County Clare 1st record
