Many of these monitoring programs rely heavily on volunteer input. Without such generous assistance the quality and breadth of Ireland’s bird monitoring programs past and future would be compromised. The Irish Wetland Bird Survey (I-WeBS) is the primary scheme that monitors overwintering waterbird populations in Ireland on an annual basis. The focus of the survey is largely on those wetland sites (e.g. estuaries and inland lakes) that hold internationally and nationally important congregations of waterbirds. As the survey window extends from September to March inclusive passage birds can also be recorded. |
