Geographic Coverage: This datasets contains data only for the island of Ireland, but is part of the larger Britain and Ireland master dataset held by the British Trust for Ornithology at Thetford, U.K. All 10-km squares within the island of Ireland with more than a very small amount of land were visited. Temporal Coverage: Records for 10-km squares were collated over the three winters 1981/82, 1982/83 and 1983/84. The survey ran from the period 14, 13 and 12 November in each of the three winters respectively until the last day of February. Species Groups recorded: bird Dataset Status: The dataset available through Biodiversity Maps is for the island of Ireland but is only a subset of the larger British and Irish dataset held by the BTO. It was used to produce the first British Trust for Ornithology /Irish Wildbird Conservancy (now BirdWatch Ireland) winter bird atlas published as Lack, P. (1986) The Atlas of Wintering Birds in Britain and Ireland. T. & A.D. Poyser, Calton. Additional Information: Full details of the methods used in the field, how fieldwork was organised and the interpretation of the maps is provided in the published atlas Lack, P. (1986) The Atlas of Wintering Birds in Britain and Ireland. T. & A.D. Poyser, Calton, or from the British Trust for Ornithology website at www.bto.org/birdatlas/previous/old_methods.htm. Specific queries as they relate to the Republic of Ireland should be made to BirdWatch Ireland at info@birdwatchireland.ie The records were collected to compile as complete a wintering species list as possible for each 10-km square and provide a count of the number of each species seen. The dataset was used to produce the first BTO/IWC Wintering Birds Atlas (Lack P. (1986) The atlas of wintering birds in Britain and Ireland. T. & A.D. Poyser).

A spot height may be expressed as AOD for "above ordnance datum". Usually mean sea level (MSL) is used for the datum. Malin Ordnance Datum Derivation of vertical height or depth (in metres) In the Republic of Ireland, OD for the Ordnance Survey of Ireland is Malin Ordnance Datum: the Mean Sea Level (MSL) at Portmoor Pier, Malin Head, County Donegal, between 1960 and 1969. 5731 EPSG Projection 5731 - Malin Head height Derivation of Altitude OD based on Mean Sea Level, Malin Head 1960-1969 CSV, Excel RFC 1480, Office 2010 Barry O'Neill National Biodiversity Data Centre Data Manager +353-51-306240 Beechfield house, Carriganore WIT West Campus Waterford County Waterford X91 PE03 Ireland info@biodiversityireland.ie http://www.biodiversityireland.ie/ http://maps.biodiversityireland.ie/Dataset/21 text/html View charts and maps information regarding data View data https://maps.biodiversityireland.ie/Dataset/Download?datasetId=21 text/csv Download as CSV (zipped) Download as CSV (zipped) INSPIRE Data Specification on Species distribution INSPIRE Data Specifications v3.0 2013-12-10 The INSPIRE Directive or INSPIRE lays down a general framework for a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) for the purposes of European Community environmental policies and policies or activities which may have an impact on the environment. false COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services INSPIRE Interoperability Regulation 2010-12-08 Level of conformance with the COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services false The maps as published are considered a true representation of the distribution and relative abundance of each species at a national level during the survey period. There will be some gaps in individual squares, especially for some of the more elusive and rarer species and some bias due to observer intensity. Data Capture Method: Specific fieldwork was conducted by mainly volunteer observers although professional help was used in some remoter areas.Two methods of fieldwork were requested from observers:1) Specific timed visits. An observer visited a 10-km square for a minimum of one hour and was asked to count all the individual birds seen in that time. At the end of the project these counts were standardized to a 'day' defined as 6 hours in the field by using a regression of numbers seen on time spent on a species specific basis.2) Supplementary Records. Observers were encouraged to send in any and all records of counts of species from 10-km squares. In particular these records were of species not seen on timed visits and those involving high numbers.The final published maps used the maximum count in a day over all three winters of each species divided into 3 levels such that 50% of positive records were placed in the lowest category (1), 30% in the middle category (2) and 20% in the highest category (3). Data Capture Purpose: The records were collected to compile as complete a wintering species list as possible for each 10-km square and provide a count of the number of each species seen. The dataset was used to produce the first BTO/IWC Wintering Birds Atlas (Lack P. (1986) The atlas of wintering birds in Britain and Ireland. T. & A.D. Poyser).
