Sunrise over St. Mella's Cell in Lemanaghan, March 2023

Volunteer call for Lemanaghan Bog Dawn Chorus event

The Lemanaghan Bog Heritage and Conservation Group is calling on volunteers to join them for the Lemanaghan Bog 'Dawn Chorus - For the Birds' event on Saturday, April 15 at sunrise. The event will take place at locations around Lemanaghan Bog, and the committee is looking for volunteers to record the birdsong in the area.

Lemanaghan Bog is home to a diverse range of bird species, and the committee is interested in preserving the biodiversity of the area. The recordings that the volunteers make will be used to identify the different bird species that call Lemanaghan Bog their home.

Volunteers need to be available to take a sound recording at sunrise on Saturday, April 15. The committee will provide details on how to do this prior to the event, so anyone interested in participating is asked to please contact any committee member or email lemanaghanboghcg@gmail.com for more information.

This is a great opportunity for nature lovers and bird enthusiasts to get involved in the conservation of Lemanaghan Bog's precious ecosystem. By contributing to the event, volunteers will be helping to protect the area's biodiversity for future generations to enjoy.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 15 and get ready to rise and shine with the birds of Lemanaghan Bog!
