July 2018 - October 2018: Census of European storm petrels (Hydrobates pelagicus) on multiple islands off the south-west coast of Ireland
Together with my former PhD supervisor (Prof. John Quinn), secured funding from NPWS to carry out a censuses of European storm petrels (Hydrobates pelagicus) on several islands off the south-west coast of Ireland. This employed a team of 5 research assistants and myself to carry out this field intensive work. I coordinated the census work, designing the sampling strategies based on the Irish Wildlife Manual drafted during my PhD.

July 2015 - July 2018: Developing and assessing a monitoring strategy for burrow nesting seabirds in Ireland.
Ireland host’s large breeding numbers of three burrow-nesting seabirds; the Atlantic Puffin (Fratercula arctica), Manx Shearwater (Puffinus puffinus) and European Storm-petrel (Hydrobates pelagicus). Prior to this project, the most recent population size estimates were obtained during the JNCC led project named Seabird 2000 (1998-2002). This PhD research, funded by the National Parks and Wildlife Service, aimed to develop and test methods to census and monitor burrow-nesting seabirds in Ireland. More information can be found within some of my publications.
