Observation details
Continuing bird, roosting in a sycamore just downstream from the footbridge; from the east side, visible at absurdly close range semi-obscured through a gap in the vegetation, but better full views from across the river. Some relief that this stunner stuck around into my return to Mayo, after the mockery of not being seen yesterday! In adult-type plumage, but with a few potential signs of immaturity in plumage (to check against photos).
