Birdwatch Ireland Seeking Wardens For Island Bird Study
Birdwatch Ireland have announced two job vacancies – a three month contract to study and protect the Roseate Tern on Rockabil Island, off the coast of north Dublin.
Paying €400 a week, the jobs call for two wardens to live on rocky outcrops on two tiny island, known as Rock and Bill, where it is said there is "just enough room to stretch the legs".
Birdwatch Ireland development officer Niall Hatch says it’s a "feather in the cap" for anyone wishing to advance their career in environmental or similar sciences.
"Some people absolutely thrive in that environment, but having screaming seabirds around you for 24 hours a day and being so isolated . . . is tough and not for everyone."
The successful wardens are dropped off by boat with supplies and, weather permitting, are allowed two long weekends off the island.
