The Cork Bird Report.

Since the 1960s bird watchers in county Cork have published sightings of birds seen or heard in the county on an annual or periodical basis under the title ‘Cork Bird Report’.

The quality of the print varies considerably from report to report depending on the age of the report and the quality of the original print but all should be legible.

For some reports you will need to click ‘View’ in Acrobat, then ‘Rotate View’ then ‘Clockwise’.
