Hel Hath No Birdies: Irish Rare Birds Committee Tracker. When #theIRBC failures are so persistent & numerous, tracking posts can very quickly become TLDR. So here's a new post to do the job. Maybe numbers are simple enough for people to get. #irbc helhathnobirdies.blogspot.co…

In the real world, results matter. People can blather on that a rarity body is voluntary or as they used to say "the best of the best" 🤣. But these numbers put them in the worst of the worst. #theIRBC #IRBC Have Des Higgins & Joe Hobbs resigned yet? helhathnobirdies.blogspot.co…

Imagine the men of high standards now delete the evidence of their ID cock ups, deliberately ignore rare birds, & just leave species out of reports for years because...reasons. 🤣 These clowns are utterly laughable ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 #theIRBC #IRBC #irishbirding #birds #birding

The Sunken Cost fallacy is a thought process where you keep plying resources into an endeavour simply because you have invested so heavily already, when in reality quitting would be the smarter choice. Long hard look in the mirror #irishbirding is long overdue. 🤣 #theirbc #irbc

There are people in #irishbirding now, who've never known a rare bird recording system that worked. It hasn't existed in their lifetime. So far as they're aware, this shit is normal. It's all there is. #theIRBC #irbc #birding #birds

The two quid for a handie lads described him to me as a snake. On this it seems they were right (a rare event). What a dickhead.

DID YOU KNOW? Ireland's "Minister for Nature & Biodiversity" Christopher O'Sullivan voted AGAINST a ban on cruel fox hunting in December 2025 and AGAINST a ban on cruel hare coursing in July 2026. Barbaric activities that cause suffering and death to wildlife @COSullivanTD #SHAME
