The breeding and wintering birds

The breeding and wintering birds in Ireland have not been the subject of a full atlas survey since 1991 and 1983/84 respectively. A new survey is planned between 2007 and 2011 that will cover both breeding and wintering birds. Fieldwork will start this November. The ireland coordinator, Brian Caffrey, will be giving a presentation on the scheme and how to become involved in it at 8 PM on Wednesday the 19th September at the Anno Santo Hotel, Threadneedle Road, Salthill.
