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 Thus, the calendar now reflects both the current nomenclature and the superseded terms as used by Ussher.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. The library records its sincere thanks to Mr. Karl Vogelsang for collating and checking the records. FURTHER INFORMATION: For a brief biographical sketch of Ussher see R. Lloyd Praeger, Some Irish Naturalists, Dundalk, 1949, pp.170-2 and R.M. Barrington, ‘Richard John Ussher,’ in The Irish Naturalist, v.22, 1913, pp.221-7. The latter includes a bibliography of Ussher’s publications.

  • 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.

  • THE BIRDS of IRELAND. Order PASSERES. Family TURDIDAE
    THE BIRDS OF IRELAND. Order PASSERES. Family TURDIDAE Subfamily TURDINNAE THE MISTLE-THRUSH. Turdus viscivorus, Linnæus. Though now resident, common, and widely distributed, this bird was apparently unknown in Ireland before the nineteenth century. A Mistle-Thrush, shot early in 1808 in the Co. Antrim was the first Irish example that Thompson had heard of during the first half of the century the spread and increase of this species was noticed throughout Ireland, the Western coast being apparently the last reached. Thus Mr. W. Sinclair remembers it in Tyrone in1820, but it arrived in Western Donegal ten years later. Up to 1860 it was unknown in Achill, but now breeds there. In Western Connaught it is scarce, but is believed still to be on the increase throughout Ireland in general. Flocks occur from June to the end of autumn, and may be seen in the same locality for days together. These perform local migrations, but disperse before winter. In November there is an immigration from Great Britain, though on a much smaller scale than that of the Song-Thrush or Blackbird. Some Mistle-Thrushes visit Rathlin Island in frosts, and Valentia is another winter resort. The Mistle-Thrush is a welcome addition to the song-birds of Ireland, from October onwards it may be heard in our mild climate; at first rarely, but more frequently and fully as each winter month passes, until the full song is delivered in February and March; while even frost and snow will not always silence it. I have heard one uttering its notes in short snatches between each triple stroke of its wings while it flew.

  • Irish Rare Bird Report 2006
    Irish Rare Bird Report 2006 1 Irish Rare Bird Report 2006 Paul Milne and David G. McAdams (on behalf of the Irish Rare Birds Committee) c/o BirdWatch Ireland, 1, Springmount, Newtownmountkennedy, Co. Wicklow. Introduction There were two surprising additions to the Irish List during 2006: Cirl Bunting Emberiza cirlus (seen in Cork in the spring) and Canada Warbler Wilsonia canadensis (seen in Clare in the autumn). Cork also produced the second records of Hermit Thrush Catharus guttatus, Isabelline Shrike Lanius isabellinus and Baltimore Oriole Icterus galbula and the third record of Eastern Olivaceous Warbler Hippolais pallida, all in the autumn. The fourth Pallid Swift Apus pallidus (in Wicklow) and fourth Booted Warbler Hippolais caligata (in Waterford) were also recorded during the year. Other exceptional occurrences were the third Black Tern Chlidonias niger of the American race surinamensis (in Wexford), the fourth record of Tundra Bean Goose Anser fabalis rossicus (in Cork) and the return of a Barrow’s Goldeneye Bucephala islandica, the first recorded in Ireland, for its second successive winter in Down. It was an outstanding year for American waders, with four species (American Golden Plover Pluvialis dominica, White-rumped Sandpiper Calidris fuscicollis, Baird’s Sandpiper Calidris bairdii and Buff-breasted Sandpiper Tryngites subruficollis) appearing in record numbers during the autumn. Notable amongst American wildfowl were record numbers of Ring-necked Ducks Aythya collaris. Exceptional numbers of Bonaparte’s Gulls Chroicocephalus philadelphia, Laughing Gulls Larus atricilla and Franklin’s Gulls Larus pipixcan occurred, following on from the influx which began in late 2005 in the case of the last two species.

    DISCOVER LONDON’S WILDLIFE 1 LONDON BIRD CLUB A section of The London Natural London Natural History Society History Society #londonbirds @londonbirdclub Version: October 2019 londonbirdclub @LNHSoc www.lnhs.org.uk CONTENTS PART 01 London Birders Calendar PART 02 London Bird Club Talks PART 03 London Natural History Society Programme PART 04 Events from other London wildlife organisations London Wetland Centre, Barnes LONDON BIRD CLUB A section of the London Natural History Society 2 INTRODUCTION TO THIS PACK London is one of the greatest capital cities in the world. What is less well known is that it is also one of the best places in the world to enjoy wildlife, and to acquire the skills of a naturalist and wildlife photographer. A large and varied network of reserves and some of the best wildlife-visitor infrastructure in the world, means that London is a surprisingly good destination for wildlife photographers, naturalists and tourists. The presence of a number of local natural history clubs and societies who organise field meetings led by outstanding all-round naturalists means it is also probably unmatched in the potential it offers for people to build their skills as naturalists. Furthermore, London has a long history of having some of the world’s pre-eminent scientific and biological institutions, together with smaller local societies also with long histories staging public talks ranging from cutting edge science to discovering wildlife in your backyard. London is amazing for enjoying wildlife and for developing field skills. For tourism companies, London is attractive with its high density of affluent travellers with an interest in wildlife.
