There's a stretch in the evenings, the dawn chorus is gaining confidence and any day now the advance parties of Wheatears, Chiffchaffs and Sand Martins will be hitting our shores!
Spring is on the way and the Countryside Bird Survey (CBS) is about to commence its 13th season of early morning bird counts all around Ireland. We are urgently looking for volunteers to help. All that is required is a good working knowledge of our common and widespread birds, by sight and sound. Counts are carried out along two walking routes in a 1km square. This is done just twice between 1st April and 30th June, each visit taking about an hour and a half.
