Great Bittern
A Great Bittern has been spotted in south Wexford reciently. They were not recorded in Ireland in about 150 years, the freezing conditions around Europe this winter may have something to do with it. The Bittern is a Heron and a little smaller than our Grey Heron. They breed only in extensive Phragmites reedbeds.
