'The numbers are pretty stark and the species we’re looking at are curlew, corncrake and snipe'.

63% of bird species in Ireland are in steep decline, the State of the World’s Birds report has concluded .

“When you think about some of the world’s most fabulous birds like puffins - which everybody loves - it’s really sad to see,” Oonagh Duggan, the organisation’s head of advocacy told“The effects on birds are coming from all policy sectors but in particular, unfortunately, agriculture is having an effect on 73% of birds globally.”

“25% of Irish birds are showing severe decline and an additional 37% are showing moderate declines,” Ms Duggan recounted.
