The Corncrake Hotline people at 0509 - 51676 checked out the Shannonbridge area
and found one male calling from Borrana Island ,known locally as "Moran's Island"
downstream from the village bridge where the River Suck joins the River Shannon.
Talking to four visiting anglers last night and they told me that they had heard one
and possibly two male corncrakes while fishing at Devenish Island upstream and
midway between Shannonbridge and Clonmacnois.Informed the "Hotline" today.
Good news that Padraig Harrington has started well in the German Golf Open.7 under.
