  • Irish Wetland Bird Survey

    What’s involved?
    I-WeBS counters record waterbirds at wetland sites across the country during the winter ‘non-breeding’ season (September to March). The type of wetlands surveyed range from wet grasslands to large complex estuaries that hold thousands of birds, and everything in between. We’re always in need of new counters, so if you’d like to get involved to help monitor your local waterbirds, have a telescope and believe you have the skills to take part, please continue to fill in the form.

    To find out more visit the website or read the I-WeBS counter manual.
