Brilliant 1st Clogheen Marsh CES visit of the year today with 105 birds of 18 species. Returning warblers from past few years inc Reed, Willow, Chiffchaff and Blackcap. Absolute highlight was after 3 years our lone male Cetti’s Warbler has finally been joined by a female @btobirds.bsky.social

Listen up anyone working in the Irish Sea this summer! We tagged a bunch of kitts in Liverpool Bay and want to gather as many resightings as we can. If you spot these yellow colour rings please give me a shout (dla205@exeter.ac.uk) 🐦💍💛

A first ringing demo for the newly founded SouthWest Ireland Ringing Group at Killarney National Park yesterday. A good selection of birds for the 20 participants, but a pair of Treecreeper and Long-tailed Tit were the show stoppers @npwsireland.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social

🧪 Seabirds and Plastic
New research shows seabird chicks that ingest plastic suffer multiorgan failure and neurodegeneration - even if they look healthy.
Plastic pollution is more than an eyesore - it is a biological threat.
