Concern at falling bird numbers at Ennis nature reserve

On Fridays Morning Focus we looked at how there are always a variety of birds in the area close to the Post Office field, next to Fergus river in Ennis.

There are claims, though, that this year has seen a serious decrease in numbers with only one Mallard duck nest to be found and claims that several duckling have died. The situation has caused a number of local people to come together to address the situation.

Clare FM’s Emma McGrievy spoke to some of them, including artist and special needs consultant, Vera Raftery. Clare FM’s Emma McGreivy also spoke with teacher Cornelia Vahl and businessman Martin Waldron.
