Ireland: A great environment for diverse species.
Ireland provides a great environment for diverse species of seabirds and waterbirds. The country’s unique geographical location and favorable climate conditions make it an important habitat for various bird species, both as breeding grounds and wintering areas.
Seabird Breeding: During the summer, Ireland hosts 24 species of seabirds, with a population of over half a million individuals. These seabirds primarily nest on mainland cliffs and marine islands, which are close to the nutrient-rich continental shelf waters. Notable breeding species in Ireland include the Manx Shearwater and Storm Petrel.
Wintering Waterbirds: Ireland’s mild and wet winters create ideal conditions for wetland habitats, attracting over three-quarters of a million waterbirds each year. More than 50 species of waterbirds migrate to Ireland during the winter season. They come to Ireland either as a stopover on their way to more southerly destinations or to spend the entire winter in the region. The undisturbed wetland areas provide ice-free feeding grounds and safe roosting sites for these birds. Some of the species that significantly rely on Ireland for overwintering include the Light-bellied Brent Goose, Black-tailed Godwit, Whooper Swan, Greenland White-fronted Goose, and Ringed Plover.
Overall, Ireland’s diverse ecosystems and protected sites, such as Special Protection Areas (SPAs), play a crucial role in conserving and supporting these bird populations, making it an important location for both breeding and wintering avian species. Conservation efforts in these areas are essential to maintain the rich biodiversity of Ireland’s birdlife.
