Irish Hen Harrier Winter Survey

The volunteers of the #IHHWS are the lifeblood of the survey & they have given freely of their time, at their own expense, to contribute to #HenHarrier conservation. A review of survey findings between 2004-2020 has now been published in @_BTO #BirdStudy tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

The governments failure to listen to the science, the public & NGOs when responding to the collapse of Irelands #HenHarrier population should set alarm bells ringing 🚨🔔 Save the #SkyDancer irishexaminer.com/farming/arid-4…

The wintering Warham Pallid Harrier. The 4th record at this site I believe since the first in 2002. Often glowing in late afternoon sunshine.

Grand stretch in the evenings!! As our 2022/23 survey window closes, we would like to say a massive thank you for all the frostbite, damp & wind endured these last 5 months.

Our watch for the 18th season of the #HenHarrier Survey comes to a close. A massive thank you 🙌 to everyone who contributed in 2021/22, your observations are invaluable.

The ultimate reward for an evenings roost watch, a dramatic entrance against dwindling light.
