Some of this years volunteers. Fearon, Andrew, Colin, Ray and Paul. Numbers are so high this year that it is unlikely that we will be able to obtain completely accurate counts, even with three people surveying! One to watch this week is the first in a two part wildlife documentary “The Secret Life of the S...

By the Waters Edge. BirdWatch Ireland wetland conservation on the Shannon Callows. Monday, 23 December 2013. Usually spotted. However, Bullock Island commonage, close to Shannon Harbour and the Little Brosna are still excellent spots for doing some bird watching over the Christmas. Between the two you have a good chance of encountering large flocks of Lapwing, Golden Plover, Curlew, Wigeon and Teal as well as Pintail, Shoveler and Tufted duck among others. The famous Golden Plover on Bullock Island ©.
