Today's Strangford Lough sightings: lots of greenshank, big flock of red-breasted mergansers (pretty sure, too far out to be certain), wigeon, many curlews and a lovely view of a bullfinch in a hedge. No eider, alas, I was hoping to see some - not a duck I see back home.

That’s a fantastic pic. I know you’re not really meant to see badgers until you go looking for them, but I think I’ve only see a badger in the flesh once in my life. They look such stunning animals to observe.

It was back tonight, no more than 1 - 1.5 metres away. Regular visitor, for peanut butter and fatballs. This one is Madge the Badge. She has a dodgy left eye and is, we think, pregnant.

J2R, not sure where you're based in NI, recently I have seen wider in Belfast Lough at Crawfordsburn Country Park.

Heinzster, I've been staying near Strangford Lough, not far from Castle Espie. Yes, I think Eider are probably more birds of open sea, so Crawfordsburn would be more likely. Haven't made it up to Belfast Lough this trip.

This morning on the dark and rain a few songsters: Blackbird, Song Thrush, Robin and Wren. Saw catkins hanging from some trees, about the same time as last year.
