Only 66 Sandwich Terns at the Lough Beg roost this evening, compared to typical autumn peaks at this time of 400 - 1000 birds. The downward trend that started in 2022 has continued and they seem to have almost disappeared from Cork Harbour this autumn Lough Beg Reserve BirdWatch Ireland

Publication of the 2024 issue of Irish Birds has been delayed by circumstances beyond our control. However, it is time to start thinking about the 2025 issue. The deadline for submissions in 31/01/2025. We are also happy to provide pre-submission advice to prospective authors.

Irish Birds is open to submissions for the 2025 issue up to 31/01/2025. We welcome submissions on all aspects of birds in Ireland and their conservation. See the Guidelines for Authors for more details #IrishBirds

The terns have finally arrived in Cork Harbour this autumn with a mixed flock of 220 Sandwich Terns, 100 Common Terns, at least 15 Roseate Terns and a few Arctics at Roches Point this morning

We are starting another season of Cork Harbour I-WeBS counts this weekend. While we have a team of regular counters we are always looking for additional volunteers to help out. Please contact me if you are interested. BirdWatch Ireland National Parks and Wildlife Service
