Tallaght Gulls + Rings: April 2014
http://tallaghtgulls.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Friday, 4 April 2014. April 2014 - Great Black Backed Gulls Gull with Yellow legs! Speedy reply from Scotland. 4th sighting - all by me! 2102 Scottish Ringed Great Black Backed Gull. There were also 2012 Great Black Backed Gull with Irelands' Eye Darvic Rings. Including yet another that is new to me. It is interesting to compare the plumage between the two colonies so the photos I've chosen are as close as possible to the same pose. 2012 Irelands' Eye ringed Great Black Backed Gull. I got a mid week trip...

Tallaght Gulls + Rings: July 2014
http://tallaghtgulls.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, 6 July 2014. July 2014 - Meds about. Lots and lots of Black Headed Gulls in the park this week but the fine weather means a busy park! No foreign coloured rings so far and even 27H0 only making a weekly appearance. The parks of Tallaght have been quiet for rings. I had a week in Kerry where in the fishing ports and at the Fish Factory in Renard Point I got no rings, not even a metal. In Dublin there are meds around at the coast but none yet seen inland. Med Gull at Sandycove. The ring is a BTO Lo...

Northern Ireland Black-headed Gull Study: April 2015
http://bhgullsni.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Northern Ireland Black-headed Gull Study. Gallery - First-winter BHG. Tuesday, 28 April 2015. Just as this time last year, the blog has taken a backseat recently to fieldwork for much bigger, darker birds than Black-headed Gulls! Brood of four large Raven chicks in Co. Down. We have more than doubled the number of Raven nests we're monitoring for the NI Raptor Study Group since 2014 and this has taken up much of our time of the past few weeks. Friday, 17 April 2015. Latvian re-sightings are like buses.

http://tallaghtgulls.blogspot.com/2015/08/mute-swan-nesting-census-phase-2.html
Thursday, 6 August 2015. Mute Swan Census - Phase 2. Received yet another report of Mute Swans with Cygnets in Russborough House in Blessington. Confirmed breeding pair no. 42!

Completed the Peples Garden in the Phoenix Park today. 3 Cygnets first noted 25th May and still 3 Cygnets. 1st Date of Cygnets. These d...
