    There are a number of places you can submit your sightings:

    -BirdTrack (used by BirdWatch Ireland)
    -National Biodiversity Data Centre

    Recording sightings is completely voluntary, but helps nature conservation organisations keep track of the current populations of birds and other animals.

    What are you shootin with and what bullets/cartridges you usin
    Are bullets lead point and pellets lead as the lead will poison them
    Hawks I wouldn't bother as buzzards are now takin over
    Falcons is different as they hardly spotted
    If you spot a hawk that is not a buzzard or a kite I can on my number and you can ring me and describe it as it could be a lost hawk and I can ring around some lads and ask if anyone lost one
    Most common would be a Harris hawk be darkish with a red colouring aswell like the hawk I have
    If they are in your garden and are not frightened of you around them more likely a lost hawk
