Consequently in order to determine the long-term run-off from each of the catchments at the possible discharge points, an average annual rainfall of 1336mm is assumed. This is the average rainfall on the Feale catchment, which is the closest catchment to the River Tyshe with recorded data. The catchment lies in Hydrometric Area 23 in which the estimated annual losses due to evapo-transpiration are 490mm. Thus, the average annual run-off is 1336 – 490 = 846mm/annum, which is equivalent to an average daily flow (ADF) (846 x 1.0 x 106) (1000 x 365.25) = 2,316 m3/d/km2 (0.027 l/s/km2) of catchment area. In the absence of recorded river dry weather and 95 percentile flow data, it is necessary to attempt to calculate what the flows might be for the River Tyshe using the estimated average daily flow.

  • 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.

BiblioMara is an indexed, annotated bibliography of written material relating to Ireland’s coastal and maritime heritage; that is a list of books, articles, theses and reports with a short account of their content. The index provided at the end of the bibliography allows users to search the bibliography using keywords and authors’ names. The majority of the documents referenced were published after the year 1900. What are ‘written materials relating to Ireland’s coastal heritage’? The BiblioMara bibliography contains material that has been written down which relates to the lives of the people on the coast; today and in the past; their history and language; and the way that the sea has affected their way of life and their imagination. The bibliography attempts to list as many materials as possible that deal with the myriad interactions between people and their maritime surroundings. The island of Ireland and aspects of coastal life are covered, from lobster pot making to the uses of seaweed, from the fate of the Spanish Armada to the future of wave energy, from the sailing schooner fleets of Arklow to the County Down herring girls, from Galway hookers to the songs of Tory Islanders.
