Ballymaloe House, Foods and Cookery School are delighted and proud to be the official sponsors of BirdWatch Ireland's Irish Garden Bird Survey again this year.
It is the 32nd year of this invaluable Garden Survey and it is of particular personal interest to us all at Ballymaloe to support the protection of wildlife because Ivan Allen was an early active conservationist and loved the bird life in and around Ballymaloe House.
We encourage you to sign up and be part of this, the largest and longest-running survey of its kind in Ireland, and help BirdWatch Ireland collate the data necessary to study the habits of our native birds and help protect any species that may be in danger.
