The Louth Nature Trust has been maintaining nesting boxes for black guillemots in County Louth for over a decade. The three sites are Port Oriel, Gyles Quay and Greenore Port. Last year the wooden nest boxes at Greenore got washed away in a storm so we replace d them this year with new much more robust MgO boxes (similar to the ones used for swifts). Monitoring to date has confirmed at least three black guillemots fledging from Greenore so far.
