Observation details
Ringtail. Flew in from Inishorra side as I was taking pics of sunset. Crossed the road and flew along north side before disappearing in the direction of Mweeloon Bay/Ardfry. Quite a striking bird with several plumage characteristics suggesting Northern Harrier. Namely, very rufous breast with not a lot of streaking on underside, very dark and uniform neck band/boa, and a suggestion of more than 5 bands on larger primaries. Light was bad though and the attached grainy images probably aren't enough to confirm. In any case, delighted to see my first Harrier of any type back here.
