Wexford. Also, 69 Dunlin, 48 Sanderling, of which most were along the beach; 34 Ringed Plover, a few Common Tern, three Common Sandpiper and a Turnstone. On the evening tide, two Roseate Tern appeared, the same birds as seen in recent days. Two Willow Warbler were the only obvious passerine migrants.
