The Little Brosna Callows
We returned again to the Little Brosna Callows on the 19/Jan/2011, grid reference M970115. The water levels were slightly lower than our previous visit and surprisingly bird numbers were low too. This may be due to the extreme low tempertures over Ireland through the months of November and December. It was suggested from a member of Birdwatch Ireland who was on site the day we visited that perhaps the migrating birds had continued further south to Spain and Portugal. When all winter data is collected we will get a better understanding of this theory.
