Birds in Ireland

About this app

This is a fun place for kids aged 5–12 to discover the birds you can see in Ireland — at the beach, the park, the garden, or up on cliffs by the sea.

All photos shown are loaded from Wikimedia Commons, where photographers and volunteers share pictures with open licences. We always link back to the original page so you can see who took the photo.

Privacy

Birds in Ireland is free and ad-free. We don't ask for your name, email or any account.

We use Trefly, our own self-hosted analytics, to count visits. Trefly is cookieless: no cookie is set on your device, and no IP address or user-agent string is stored on the server. It records only the page you viewed, the host of the referring website (no full URL), your country, browser, operating system and device family. A daily-rotating hash counts unique daily visitors without identifying you, and the hash resets every 24 hours so you cannot be tracked across days.

Don't want to be counted? Most ad-blockers and tracker-blocking browser extensions will block trefly.vercel.app/t.js and stop the count.

Other third parties: bird photos and “Learn more” links load directly from Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia, which see your IP only when you visit those pages. The optional feedback form on this page sends your message to a Cloudflare Worker that opens a GitHub issue; spam is filtered by a Cloudflare Turnstile widget that loads only when you start typing.

For privacy questions, contact: [TODO add email]. This notice is informational and not legal advice.
