Ive seen a few birds that I thought were peregrine in those areas of Connemara. I just realised now that they may have been merlin. I noticed ye swimming in the video, is that because its the best way to get to the islands without causing much disturbance?

Thanks, Merlin are a much smaller falcon than Peregrine but both species occur in Connemara albeit both in low numbers. Swimming is often the best way to acces sthe islands because they are so remote and difficult to access by other means (boat etc.).

Brilliant video. Where is the best place to submit Merlin sightings, particularly during the breeding season?

@BirdWatchIreland Ай бұрын
Thank you very much. We manage a dataset on Merlin observations (during the breeding season) and nest locations and would be interested in any information on Merlin during the breeding season, which can be submitted by email to [email protected] and sightings can also be logged with the National Biodiversity Data Center. Thanks in advance.

'Human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.' Oh, really. It's time anyone preaching this absolute nonsense was removed from the 'scientific' community. This is bogus 'science' brainwashing carried out by the WEF. There is NO evidence that this is true, and yet you seek to destroy our lives and economies in pursuit of a myth.

I watched this video to confirm if the bird in my back garden in Blackrock, Co. Dublin which has now plucked and is proceeding to eat a pigeon is, as I suspected, a Hen Harrier. Indeed it is. It is a female. I saw one some years ago in the garden but that one was motionless, probably on the lookout for a unsuspecting small bird at the feeder. The pigeon put up a struggle.

Don't know the situation in Ireland but here in Britain it's the development of wearhouses and house being built on green belt land that is the major problem here. It's so sad that when I was in my 20s there was more green belt land than there is now. Also barns being converted into house . But on a plus most farmers and people are encouraging barn owls by putting up owl boxes .

What is a chance to have nest box for them to take up residences in urban gardens of outskirt of city? They are best pest controllers they can feed on mice and rats of urban take away. I think?

I had a pair nest right above my front door this spring in Arizona. I was able to set up cameras all over the place and watch them raise their young. Such a fascinating beautiful creature. I felt like I was the luckiest human on earth!

I live in Florida, and one of the places I worked in had a barn owl nest in the trees at the front of the property. I worked nights, so I got to hear the babies screeching quite often. I was even lucky enough to see one of the parent owls glide over the yard. I adore these birds, they are so important to the environment. It’s good to see people getting involved in protecting them. ❤️
