A twitcher friend ID'ed those birds for me a few years back.
If memory serves they are "Chiff Chaffs" on their way into the country.
Magic little bird. They must be on their last legs (or wings) when they see the boat.

it must have been to hitch a ride with willy glad you got a few fish willy them cork pollack taste nice in batter

Cracking pics ill show you how to catch and take a good pic of a 15lb ling next time

good man willie nice pics there nice to get out, ill be in touch next week ill be heading out to wet a line.

nice fishing lads,great to get out,nice pics,eddie.........

Nice bit of fishing but i have to say i really like the pictures of the dolfins,

did you have to use some kind of filter lense to rid the glare off the water ??

You now have me looking for slips where i can launch from should i go down during the summer

hi mann i have a fineplex s7000 with a polarised lens cover cuts the glare right down

excellent day out lads and some good fishing as well . id say you got a good run off the 15lb ling willie they always give a good account of themselves. by the way that bird is a thrush an irritating c--t lol

It seems to work a treat, I will have to carry on using my sun glass's as a lens cover for now.. least until i invest in a better camera,

neither of them

apart from my thrush joke going over johns head. i was wondering willie do the dolphins rob your hooks like the seals do when your pulling in your feathers? and has anyone ever hooked one?

hi twinkle never had a dolfin take any bait i have had under the boat with 4 rods down and never had a problem there just a nice site to see around the boat

yes there beautiful could spend hours just looking at them and of course where they are so are the fish followed 2 porpoises off the back of irelands eye last year stayed on the macks for an hour they just kept circuling the shoal it was great fun

we snagged one a while back. they came from the port side and went straight under the keel. we were trying to get the gear out of the water in time and one of us hooked one. nearly pulled the guy in, hit like a train. WAAAAY harder than a shark. and probably never knew it was hooked. lost about a half a spool of braid before we got a scissors to it
