Bird Ringing Project
Mullaghglass, a former quarry and landfill site is in its restoration project phases – it is a member of the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) Constant Effort Site Scheme.
This is the first national standardised ringing programme within the (BTO) ringing scheme.
There are presently only four sites in N. Ireland and two in ROI (out of all industries). This is a national scientific research programme which is crucial to the ongoing monitoring of trends relating to the abundance of 24 species of common songbird.
As part of this scheme, a bio hub hut has been erected for the use of the British Ornithological Society for training bird ringers as well as monitoring bird activity on our site.
