The grey partridge in Ireland has reached an historic high of just over 1,000 birds. This figure is the estimated population of Boora, Co Offaly, where the Trust supports the work done on behalf of the species by the National Parks & Wildlife Service.
Although chick survival was lower than we would have hoped for, 2014 has proved to be a good year for the Trusts re-introduction project based on farmland in North County Dublin. This project is funded by Fingal County Council & EU Leader. We are grateful to local branches of Bird Watch Ireland & Dublin Regional Council – and all of the other clubs for their contributions and support.
