  • Irish Rare Bird Report 2014
    Irish Rare Bird Report 2014 M. Carmody and J. Hobbs (on behalf of the Irish Rare Birds Committee) BirdWatch Ireland, Unit 20, Block D, Bullford Business Campus, Kilcoole, Co. Wicklow Introduction Palearctic away from the Azores. Ireland’s second Pacific Diver Gavia pacifica (Galway) and third Sardinian Warbler Sylvia The year under review was the classic year of two halves. The melanocephala (Cork) were recorded in April and the fourth first half was one of the most exciting starts to a year in recent records of Red-flanked Bluetail Tarsiger cyanurus (Mayo) and times, whereas the latter half was far more pedestrian. In line American Coot Fulica americana (Kerry) were recorded in with that, both additions to the Irish list in 2014 were during October and November respectively. Also, this report contains the first six months, with an American Purple Gallinule details of the second Little Swift Apus affinis from Wexford in Porphyrio martinicus found dead in Mayo and, less than a May 2002 and the fourth Thrush Nightingale Luscinia luscinia week later, a Slaty-backed Gull Larus schistisagus in Galway, from Cork in October 2013. Significant records of sub-species both of these in February. Undoubtedly, though, the most in the report are of the first Eastern Subalpine Warbler Sylvia significant record of the year was a Bermuda Petrel cantillans albistriata from Mayo in 2007 and the first Yellow Pterodroma cahow , which is categorised as an ‘At sea’ record as it was observed some 170 nautical miles west of Ireland, a location that lies outside the boundary of the Irish List.

    Systematic notes on Asian birds. 49 A preliminary review of the Aegithalidae, Remizidae and Paridae1 S. Eck † & J. Martens Eck, S. & J. Martens. Systematic notes on Asian birds. 49. A preliminary review of the Aegithalidae, Remi- zidae and Paridae. Zool. Med. Leiden 80-5 (1), 21.xii.2006: 1-63, fi gs. 1-6, Plates I-III.— ISSN 0024-0672. Siegfried Eck †, formerly Staatliche Sammlungen für Naturkunde Dresden, Museum für Tierkunde, Königsbrücker Landstrasse 159, D-01109 Dresden, Germany. Jochen Martens, Institut für Zoologie, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität, D-55099 Mainz, Germany (e-mail: [email protected]). Key words: Paridae; Aegithalidae; Remizidae; species limits; systematics; taxonomy; eastern Palaearctic region; Indo-Malayan region; morphology; bioacoustics; molecular genetics; secondary contacts; hy- bridisation; introgression. Proposed recent taxonomic changes in Paridae, Aegithalidae, and Remizidae are reviewed within the geographic scope of this series and their reliability is discussed in terms of the Biological Species Concept with respect to secondary contacts, hybridization, introgression, bioacoustics, and molecular genetics. Certain previously unpublished data are added to support the taxonomic decisions. Introduction This review benefi ts from the excellent treatment of these three passerine families in the monograph by Harrap (1996) 2, preceded by detailed work by Vaurie (1957a, b) on the Palearctic species set upon which Snow (1967) based his treatment for Peters’s Checklist of the Birds of the World. Only after the publication of Harrap (op. cit.) has molecular ge- netics begun to furnish information on parid systematics and taxonomy. This has not only given insights into population structure and population genetics of various taxa, but also helped understanding of species evolution and species limits.

Status and diet of the European Shag (Mediterranean subspecies) Phalacrocorax aristotelis desmarestii in the Libyan Sea (south Crete) during the breeding season. Marine Ornithology 45: 1–9. During 2010–2012 we collected data on the population status and ecology of the European Shag (Mediterranean subspecies) Phalacrocorax aristotelis desmarestii on Gavdos Island (south Crete), conducting boat-based surveys, nest monitoring, and diet analysis. The species’ population was estimated at 80–110 pairs, with 59% breeding success and 1.6 fledglings per successful nest. Pellet morphological and genetic analysis of otoliths and fish bones, respectively, showed that the shags’ diet consisted of 31 species. A total of 4 223 otoliths were identified to species level; 47.2% belonged to sand smelts Atherina boyeri, 14.2% to bogues Boops boops, 11.3% to picarels Spicara smaris, and 10.5% to damselfishes Chromis chromis.

  • Ussher Bird Notes Royal Irish Academy: Special List / Liosta
    Ussher Bird Notes Royal Irish Academy: Special list / Liosta speisialta: A009 RICHARD JOHN USSHER, MRIA, (1841-1913) was a speleologist, ornithologist and the main author of Ussher & Warren, The Birds of Ireland, Dublin and London, 1900. Ussher was elected a member of the Royal Irish Academy in 1906. He bequeathed his books, papers and correspondence on natural history, cave exploration, and antiquities to the Academy. The collection known as the Ussher Bird Notes consists of Ussher’s notes and correspondence relating to the various species of bird recorded in Ireland. The original calendar of the collection, compiled by P. Cuffe in 1960-61, was prepared for the web by Mr. Karl Vogelsang of the Academy library in November/December 2003. In the course of checking the names of the genera and species recorded by Ussher, Mr. Vogelsang noted that some names had been altered in the modern reference books on Irish birds. With the assistance of Mr. Eric Callaghan, Department of Zoology, University College Dublin, the currently accepted nomenclature was applied. Thus, the calendar now reflects both the current nomenclature and the superseded terms as used by Ussher. We hope that the listing will be of use to those who may need to access the Bird Notes. The original calendar has been filed with Ussher’s papers. Siobhán Fitzpatrick, Librarian, 23/12/2003 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: We wish to acknowledge the generous assistance of Mr. Eric Callaghan, Department of Zoology, U.C.D.; of Dr. Julia Sigwart, U.C.D., and of Dr. Nigel Monaghan, Curator, The Museum of Natural History, in revising the calendar.
