irishbirding.com - how to report a sighting

Seth Brundle · 2025-05-15 11:14:15

Does anyone know how exactly one would report a bird sighting on irishbirding.com? There is an email address but surely this would make it a very cumbersome task keeping the site up to date which is why I'm guessing that there may be an easier method.

I don't know of any other route. There is a national birding whatsapp group, and perhaps some records are taken from there, but I don't know that they are. There must be some quick way to upload things behind the scenes, or the person running it is incredibly dedicated, because there are a lot of records on there that aren't really of broad birding interest e.g. Buzzards, Woodpeckers in peoples in gardens in counties where they're firmly established, Kestrels etc etc.
