An overview of the impact of HPAI H5N1 on the breeding Terns on the east coast of ROI in 2023 and 2024. Full case study published in #BirdStudy
In short, very bad for Common Terns, bad for Arctics and Sandwich, surprisingly minimal impact on Roseates overall.

It only took 8 years for govt to put in place a landscape scale programme dedicated to saving Curlew though BirdWatch Ireland has been flagging for so long that this species is on the brink. Hopefully it’s not too little too late. Forestry needs to stay away frm areas impt for Curlew & other waders.
