Excellent day at Oxford Island on the shore of Lough Neagh for the BTO Northern Ireland Birdwatchers' Conference. Superb talks, fab setting and lots of great social. Delighted to talk about Bird Atlas 2027-31. Now waiting for the 2230 sailing from Belfast to Liverpool.

Good morning, Belfast! Looking forward to a day in the BTO Northern Ireland office, and the conference tomorrow.

Fantastic work by Mark Eaton, Secretary of RBBP and all the incredibly hard-working county bird recorders. Pleased to support the work of RBBP as a panel member.
