Roving Records for BWI

Hey guys quick update.
Yesterday with 13 other Tolka Branch members we met with Niall Tierney from BWI to go do some Roving Reports for the Bird Atlas.

We split into groups and headed off with our 10km square maps to see what we could see - I paired up with Dermot and off we went.

It was a good days birding the time flew by very quickly and by the end we had seen/heard 35 species - and added about 10 species to the list including a few proofs of breeding - Bullfinch Fledgling, Spotted Fly catcher on nest, House Martins in nest and Reed bunting to mention a few.

If you are out an about and do see evidence of breeding in the area you are in remember to log it in to the Roving Records section of the Bird Atlas website.
