The Waterford Breeding Bird Atlas 2006-2011
 
Sample species maps
 
Click below to see maps showing the recorded distribution of selected species in Co Waterford during April-July of 2006 and 2007, based on records compiled to date.  (This is supplemented by records from other months for some scarce residents, January 2006 to March 2008.)  Only the basic distribution (by 2-km tetrad) is shown in these example, but more detailed species maps will be produced to indicate proven, probable and possible breeding using different symbols.  (Maps below also include migrants, non-breeding summer-visitors, and 'fly-over' records.)  We will provide preliminary maps for a wider range of species as the survey progresses.  Last updated 21 May 2008.
 
Also included where available are maps from winter 2007/08 and April-July 2008 maps from the national Atlas website (www.birdatlas.net).
