Disturbance by us is one of the main threats to our few remaining ground nesting birds. #machair #collaborativeconservation #birds #donegal

Please help our vulnerable ground-nesting birds:
• Stay on designated roads & footpaths
• Don't approach nesting birds or chicks
• Keep all dogs on a lead at all times in high nature areas
• Avoid driving off‑road
• Keep disturbance to a minimum
