Have Des Higgins and Joe Hobbs resigned yet? Seems overdue does it not? #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdwatchireland #irishbirding #ireland #rarebirds #theIRBC

To pretend now, in 2026, #theIRBC are in any way functional, that they're anything other than political, makes you a fool. When your only job is to record rare #birds & they deliberately ignored rare bird records because of their own petty vendetta, it's over. 😂 #irishbirding

Imagine missing this many targets, producing such ridiculously bad outputs, solely because of their own vendettas & an inability to engage with reality? 😂 If this was a commercial/professional setting every single member here would be sacked. No question. 😂 #theIRBC

The only time the line has ever faltered for #theIRBC. 😂 Must have really stung 😂. Amazingly...things got worse..not better. But, honestly, what did ya expect with so many Spoofers involved? Have Des Higgins & Joe Hobbs resigned yet? 😂 #irishbirding #birding #birds #rarebirds

At some point in the future, you will use the same old sad terminology of "that was/wasn't accepted" or "that was Xth for Ireland" blah blah blah. And it won't occur to you, for even a nanosecond, that it's utterly meaningless with this shower #theIRBC 😂 #irishbirding #birding

Swathes of very high #standards birders were once very, very concerned with the integrity of @theIRBC system, it's lists, it's reports etc... All gone VERY, VERY quiet these days haven't they?😂 Almost like that concern was never real & just a cover for bullying bullshit 😂
Helsinki Birder@HelsinkiBirder

March 2026 and @theirbc #theIRBC are still incompetent. Not a whiff of #standards to be seen. 😂 How many more decades of this shambles will be tolerated I wonder? Have Des Higgins & Joe Hobbs resigned yet? 😂 #irishbirding #birding

Have Des Higgins and Joe Hobbs resigned yet? #irishbirding #theIRBC How long will the Incompetent Rare Bird Committee be Incompetent? Another 20 years? 30? 50? Eternally? At what point do people say enough is enough, do the job right? Never? Ok so. 😂
Helsinki Birder@HelsinkiBirder

@theIRBC are still a clown car dumpster fire. 😂 But it was the entirety of #irishbirding who allowed them to become this bad. To get to the point where they would deliberately ignore, photographed rarities, for their own vendetta? #crazy #birds #birding #birdwatching #rarebirds

There are an awful lot of failures associated with #theIRBC. And that's entirely down to #irishbirding allowing them to be the Incompetent Rare Bird Committee completely unchallenged. 😂 A true #DontLookUp scenario.
