Buzzards in Ireland

In these days of widespread species decline, it is refreshing to hear a good news story. One such example is that of the recovery of the Buzzard population in Ireland.

The County Nature Trust would like to hear of any sightings of Buzzards in Munster, particularly records of birds during the Spring and Summer months. If you have seen Buzzard in your area, drop us a line.
