Northern Ireland is home to important populations of seabirds at the UK-level, and monitoring these is essential to their conservation. This report relies upon the efforts of volunteers in the Northern Ireland Inspired by birds, informed by science Seabird Network, who donate their time to collect data on breeding seabirds on their local patch. Due to the combined efforts of the Northern Ireland Seabird Network, the NIEA-funded NI Seabird Coordinator and the large annual surveys carried out by the RSPB and the National Trust, Northern Ireland’s seabirds enjoy a good level of survey coverage compared to other parts of the UK. However, each year there are still sites that do not regularly receive any counts. Northern Ireland Seabird Report 2020 What do we need, and why? There are two main types of data collected for the JNCC Seabird Monitoring Programme (SMP): breeding NI Seabird Steering Group abundance data (counts of breeding pairs or individuals at a site) and productivity data (nesting success). Dave Allen (Allen & Mellon Environmental) Additional monitoring of survival is undertaken through the Retrapping Adults for Survival (RAS) scheme. Abundance data are the more frequently collected data, requiring a minimum of one visit at the recommended Katherine Booth Jones (BTO) time of year for each species. Abundance data monitor how populations of seabirds are faring over time. For Kendrew Colhoun (KRC Ecological) example, they help to show which species are increasing and which are decreasing in number, and how this differs Gillian Gilbert (RSPB) between areas (see the species accounts in this report, page 12–60). Productivity data require volunteers to visit Kerry Leonard (Sterna Environmental) a colony several times (a minimum of twice) to record nests and their progress as eggs hatch and chicks grow. Neil McCulloch (NIEA) Productivity data are especially valuable, as they are less frequently collected in Northern Ireland and provide Andrew Upton (National Trust) context to changes in abundance. For example, for many seabird species reduced breeding success is a factor in their decline. Therefore, information on how different colonies around the UK are performing in their breeding Report editor seasons can offer insight into what issues may be affecting overall numbers and inform conservation action. Katherine Booth Jones Get involved in 2021 While the SMP is an annual scheme, 2021 is a particularly important year for seabird monitoring as it is the This report is the published outcome of the work of the Northern Ireland Seabird Network final year of the JNCC Seabirds Count census, a periodic stock-take of all seabirds in Britain and Ireland that is – a network of volunteers, researchers and organisations – coordinated by the BTO Seabird essential for assessing the health of our seabird populations. We still have sites that require survey effort, so if you Coordinator, and funded by NIEA. have time to spare to make a one-off visit part of Northern Ireland’s beautiful coastline to count seabirds, please get in touch with the NI Seabird Coordinator ([email protected]) to be added to the Northern Ireland Seabird Network.

    SCOTTISH NATURAL HERITAGE TREND NOTE Number 021, October 2012 SEABIRDS IN SCOTLAND Prepared by Simon Foster and Sue Marrs of SNH Knowledge Information Management Unit using results from the Seabird Monitoring Programme and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee Scotland has internationally important populations of several seabirds. Their conservation is assisted through a network of designated sites. Figure 1 shows the distribution of the 50 Special Protection Areas (SPA) which have seabirds listed as a feature of interest. The map shows the widespread nature of the sites and the predominance of important seabird areas on the Northern Isles (Orkney and Shetland), where some of our largest seabird colonies are present. The most recent estimate of seabird populations was obtained from Birds of Scotland (Forrester et al., 2007). Table 1 shows the population levels for all seabirds regularly breeding in Scotland.

  • Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease (Or Psittacine Circovirus, PCV)
    Psittacine beak and feather disease (or psittacine circovirus, PCV) Published by The recent diagnosis of psittacine beak and feather disease in wild Biosecurity Unit parrots is a cause of concern to the Department of Conservation. It Department of Conservation was diagnosed in a wild eastern rosella in the Wellington region in PO Box 12–416 Wellington, New Zealand August 2003. This disease is caused by a highly infectious virus and April 2004 affects the skin, feathers and immune system of parrots. There is po- tential for the disease to be transmitted to other wild parrots, in par- ticular New Zealand’s native species, such as the endangered kakapo and kaka. The potential impact of this disease on these spe- cies is unknown as it has affected parrot species in other countries in unpredictable patterns. However, the disease, also known as psit- tacine circovirus (PCV), could decimate the already depleted populations of our treasured native parrots and it therefore repre- sents a significant threat to biodiversity.

  • Beak and Feather Disease Viru
    Fact sheet Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is the causative agent of psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD), an endemic disease in Australia’s wild parrot populations. Descriptions of parrots with feather loss consistent with the disease date back to the late 1800s (Ashby 1907). The virus is believed to have originated in Australia sometime following the separation of the continent from Gondwanaland, with spread to other parts of the world with modern movement of parrots as pet and aviary species . It has the potential to impact on several endangered Australian and non-Australian parrot populations and is listed as a key threatening process by the Australian government. Of late, the virus also has been identified in various non-psittacine species . Beak and feather disease virus is a 14 to 16 nm non-enveloped icosahedral DNA virus belonging to the family Circoviridae. Formerly, it was believed that the circoviruses recovered from a diverse range of psittacines were all antigenically similar. Doubt was cast on this theory when a virus that appeared to be serologically and genetically different was isolated from cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus) (Shearer et al. 2008). More recent research appears to indicate that psittacine circoviruses can be divided into two species and multiple viral strains. Based on work by Varsani et al. (2011), BFDV contains 14 strains, while budgerigar circovirus (BCV), a newly defined species to date only found in budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulates), contains three strains. However, it is likely that this number will continue to increase as shown by the discovery of two new distinct BFDV lineages in orange-bellied parrots (Neophema chrysogaster) (Peters et al.

  • Barge 1 Lagan Waterway and History
    LAGAN WATERWAY HISTORY Navigable waterways Prior to the advent of canals and railways in the 1700s and 1800s, packhorses and horses and carts or packhorse were the main means of moving stuff. Although Ireland has had a good road network since the 1600s, such roads were poorly surfaced and not always well maintained. The loads transported were thus limited by the hauling power of the horses and condition of the roads. Bulky, low-value goods such as coal, building materials and grain were particularly expensive to transport. Railways solved this problem, but only after the development of reliable steam locomotives in the mid-1800s. Before then, rivers were the cheapest way of moving large heavy loads where speed was not essential. Except for their tidal sections however, most rivers were not navigable for any great distance and the size of boats, and thus of the loads carried, was invariably limited by obstructions such as shallows, rapids and weirs. Navigations and canals Navigable waterways are of two types – navigations and canals. Navigations are existing natural watercourses whose navigability has been improved, whereas canals are entirely artificial channels excavated by hand and/or machine. The pros and cons of each type of waterway are as follows: For Against Navigations No major civil engineering works Prone to strong currents in winter and required so relatively cheap. lack of water in summer, both of which may make navigation temporarily impossible. [This was certainly the case on the Lagan] Summer water shortages are potentially exacerbated by demands of mill owners with prior rights to abstract water from the river.

  • Assessment of Great Skua Stercorarius Skua Pellet Composition to Inform Estimates of Storm Petrel Consumption from Bioenergetics Models
    Storm Petrels in Great Skua pellets Assessment of Great Skua Stercorarius skua pellet composition to inform estimates of storm petrel consumption from bioenergetics models Zoe Deakin1*, Lucy Gilbert2, Gina Prior3 and Mark Bolton4 * Correspondence author. Email: [email protected] 1 School of Biosciences, Cardiff University, Museum Avenue, Cardiff CF10 3AX, UK; 2 Institute of Biodiversity, Animal Health and Comparative Medicine, Graham Kerr Building, University of Glasgow G12 8QQ, UK; 3 National Trust for Scotland, Balnain House, 40 Huntly Street, Inverness, IV3 5HR, UK; 4 RSPB Centre for Conservation Science, The Lodge, Sandy, Bedfordshire SG19 2DL, UK Abstract Generalist predators may exert levels of predation on particular prey that result in, or contribute to, decline of that prey species. Bioenergetics models have been used to estimate the rates of consumption of Leach’s Storm Petrels Oceanodroma leucorhoa (45 g) and European Storm Petrels Hydrobates pelagicus (25 g) by Great Skuas Stercorarius skua on St Kilda (Western Isles, UK) and Hermaness (Shetland, UK). The models require estimates of the number of indigestible pellets produced from each individual storm petrel consumed, which have previously been determined by captive feeding trials or examination of pellets cast by free-living birds, but which have not discriminated between the two storm petrel species. Here we use information from dissection of 427 Great Skua pellets collected on Hirta (St Kilda, UK) and Mousa (Shetland, UK) to provide empirical estimates of the pellet:prey ratios for Leach’s and European Storm Petrels separately. We found that pellet:prey ratios were similar for collections of the ‘standing crop’ of pellets accumulated over the entire breeding season and samples of pellets cast within the preceding five days.

  • The Herring Gull Complex (Larus Argentatus - Fuscus - Cachinnans) As a Model Group for Recent Holarctic Vertebrate Radiations
    The Herring Gull Complex (Larus argentatus - fuscus - cachinnans) as a Model Group for Recent Holarctic Vertebrate Radiations Dorit Liebers-Helbig, Viviane Sternkopf, Andreas J. Helbig{, and Peter de Knijff Abstract Under what circumstances speciation in sexually reproducing animals can occur without geographical disjunction is still controversial. According to the ring species model, a reproductive barrier may arise through “isolation-by-distance” when peripheral populations of a species meet after expanding around some uninhabitable barrier. The classical example for this kind of speciation is the herring gull (Larus argentatus) complex with a circumpolar distribution in the northern hemisphere. An analysis of mitochondrial DNA variation among 21 gull taxa indicated that members of this complex differentiated largely in allopatry following multiple vicariance and long-distance colonization events, not primarily through “isolation-by-distance”. In a recent approach, we applied nuclear intron sequences and AFLP markers to be compared with the mitochondrial phylogeography. These markers served to reconstruct the overall phylogeny of the genus Larus and to test for the apparent biphyletic origin of two species (argentatus, hyperboreus) as well as the unex- pected position of L. marinus within this complex. All three taxa are members of the herring gull radiation but experienced, to a different degree, extensive mitochon- drial introgression through hybridization. The discrepancies between the mitochon- drial gene tree and the taxon phylogeny based on nuclear markers are illustrated. 1 Introduction Ernst Mayr (1942), based on earlier ideas of Stegmann (1934) and Geyr (1938), proposed that reproductive isolation may evolve in a single species through D.
