Bird Surveys

 At FitzGerald Ecology, our surveys include the following:

 

  • Species Identification and Counting: We perform detailed fieldwork to identify and count bird species, assessing their population sizes and health. We conduct both wintering bird and breeding bird surveys as part of our service. 

 

  • Behavioural Observations: Observing and recording bird behaviours, such as feeding, nesting, and migration patterns, provides insights into habitat quality and ecological interactions.

 

  • Acoustic and Visual Recording: Utilising modern techniques, including acoustic recorders and high-powered optics, to accurately capture and analyse bird presence and activities. We also make use of the latest modern bird song identification apps.

 

  • Detailed Reporting: We provide comprehensive reports outlining our findings, offering recommendations for bird conservation and habitat management strategies.

Safeguarding Rare Plant Species

In 2022, FitzGerald Ecology completed a full flora study and rare plant survey of four sub-sites within Turvey Nature Reserve, Co. Dublin. As part of this work, we were responsible for the transplantation of two rare plant populations which were at risk of damage from planned environmental engineering works in the area. This transplantation was conducted successfully. This flora study will inform future environmental engineering works to be carried out by the client within Turvey Nature Reserve in the coming years, which is partially within the Rogerstown Estuary Special Area of Conservation (SAC).
