Just got word from our wardens at Kilcoole that we now have >204 active Little Tern nests, matching last year's peak (which wasn't hit until June 2023). It's been a very early start to nesting and it'll be a busy few months trying to keep them all safe! National Parks and Wildlife Service BirdWatch Ireland



Sean is an inspiration and a true champion for bird life and the wider environment. We are both extremely grateful and thrilled that he has chosen to donate 25% of the proceeds from his new album, Wild Silence, to BirdWatch Ireland. Thank you Irish Wildlife Sounds (Seán Ronayne) for all of your support!
