  • Some Aspects of the Breeding Biology of the Swifts of County Mayo, Ireland Chris & Lynda Huxley
    Some aspects of the breeding biology of the swifts of County Mayo, Ireland Chris & Lynda Huxley 3rd largest Irish county covering 5,585 square kilometers (after Cork and Galway), and with a reputation for being one of the wetter western counties, a total of 1116 wetland sites have been identified in the county. Project Objectives • To investigate the breeding biology of swifts in County Mayo • To assess the impact of weather on parental feeding patterns • To determine the likelihood that inclement weather significantly affects the adults’ ability to rear young • To assess the possibility that low population numbers are a result of weather conditions and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean.

  • West Coast, Ireland
    West Coast, Ireland (Slyne Head to Erris Head) GPS Coordinates of location: Latitude: From 53° 23’ 58.02”N to 54° 18’ 26.96”N Longitude: From 010° 13” 59.87”W to 009° 59’ 51.98”W Degrees Minutes Seconds (e.g. 35 08 34.231212) as used by all emergency marine services Description of geographic area covered: The region covered is the wild and remote west coast of Ireland, from Slyne Head north of Galway to Erris Head south of Sligo. It includes Killary Harbour, Clew Bay, Black Sod Bay, Belmullet, and the islands of Inishbofin, Inishturk, Clare, Achill, and the Inishkeas. It is an area of incomparable charm and natural beauty where mountains come down to the sea unspoilt by development. It is also an area without marinas, or easy access to marine services. Self-sufficiency is absolutely necessary, along with careful navigation around a rocky lee coastline in prevailing westerlies. A vigilant watch for approach of frequent Atlantic gales must be kept. Inishbofin is reported to be the most common stopover of visiting foreign-flagged yachts in Ireland, of which there are very few on the West coast. Best time to visit is May-September. 1 24 May 2015 Port officer’s name: Services available in area covered: Daria & Alex Blackwell • There are no marinas in the west of Ireland between Galway and Killybegs in Donegal, so services remain difficult to access. Haul out facilities are now available in Kilrush on the Shannon River and elsewhere by special arrangement with crane operators. • Visitor Moorings (Yellow buoy, 15 tons): Achill / Kildavnet Pier, Achill Bridge, Blacksod, Clare Island, Inishturk, Rosmoney (Clew Bay), Leenane.

  • The Few Weeks of My Life That I Spent in Ireland Were a Wonderful Experience and a Good Beginning
    The few weeks of my life that I spent in Ireland were a wonderful experience and a good beginning. The Jane C. Waulbaum scholarship allowed me to have this experience, as the funds were used for travel and living expenses, and I thank the Archaeological Institute of America for this fantastic opportunity. I arrived in Dooagh, the village where the Achill Field School is located, nearly twenty-four hours after I departed from the United States, tired and filled with excitement. Not only was I taking the first step in my archaeological career, but was also in Ireland, the very place that I want to pursue my future intellectual endeavors. We did not begin fieldwork immediately. On the first day we had an introduction to the field school, including lectures about Irish archaeology, the history of the field school, and what we would be doing for the next few weeks. The site that we would be working on was the house of the famous Captain Boycott, dated to AD 1854. When Boycott arrived in Keem, a small village to the west of Dooagh, he needed to construct a house quickly and start farming, so he chose to construct it out of "galvanized iron", which is actually corrugated steel. As far as I understand it, he was able to construct his dwelling in less than a week, and added other phases to the house later, this time made from stone. Phase one, the "galvanized iron" portion of the house, at some point caught fire and was destroyed. It was this part of the house that we were excavating.
