The Black-winged Pratincole was still showing at Blanketnook, Donegal (Michael Latham). The bird is with Lapwing and it favours the grassy shoreline viewable from the Moyle Letterkenny end of Blanketnook.

The Yellow Wagtail, possibly a Black-headed type, is still at Myroe (Martin Deehan). (It has not been ruled out that this bird could be different to the one seen on Monday)
