  • 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.
