14.8.45, cont.  The Island Co. DU. cont.

On way back to ferry on W. side of peninsula, the tide being full, saw many birds on spit opposite Malahide & near these but by themselves.  Saw at twenty-yards range 4 Brent Geese, which seems very early for such a typical "winter visitor".  (I learned afterwards that these were wounded birds that had spent the summer at Malahide estuary! AWS.

[At 8 P.M. saw a Swift high over Clareville Rd: - most having left about a week earlier!]
