What Is Birds Ireland Photography?

Updated

Birds Ireland Photography is the online storefront for limited edition bird and wildlife photography prints by Eric Dempsey, described on the site as a bird and wildlife expert. The site is built for browsing and buying prints rather than for reading articles or field guides, so it is most useful if you want to purchase or gift a print. If you are looking for birdwatching trip reports, species identification help, or free image downloads, this is not that kind of site.

What the site offers

The main catalogue is organised into three subject areas, plus a gift option:

  • Birds – the core category, matching the site's focus on bird photography.
  • Butterflies/Moths – a separate insect category.
  • Wildlife – non-bird, non-insect animal subjects.
  • Gift Voucher – a way to buy for someone else when you are unsure which print to choose.

There is also an All Prints view, which is the quickest way to see the full range without moving between categories.

How the site is structured

The navigation is deliberately short: Home, About us, Purchase Prints, All Prints, the three subject categories, Gift Voucher, Wishlist, News, and Contact us. A cart sits alongside it.

Two features are worth knowing before you browse:

Feature What it does
Wishlist Lets you save prints you are considering, instead of buying immediately
Cart Standard basket; the site notes an empty cart state when nothing has been added

The Purchase Prints page is the entry point for buying, and the About us page is where the photographer's background is set out.

Things to expect when browsing

  • Right-click is disabled. The site states this is for copyright reasons, so you cannot right-click to save images. Plan on viewing prints in the browser rather than downloading previews.
  • A cookie consent banner appears on arrival. You can accept, deny, or open the preferences panel to choose categories (functional, preferences, statistics, marketing) individually. Denying or withdrawing consent may affect some site features, per the site's own notice.
  • No prices are shown in the material available here. Pricing is not published in the page evidence, so check the individual print or the Purchase Prints page for current figures rather than assuming a range.

Who it is for

This site suits you if you want a signed or limited edition wildlife image as a physical print, either for yourself or as a gift, and you already know you like Eric Dempsey's work or the subject matter. It is a poor fit if you need stock imagery for reuse, identification references, or free wallpapers — the copyright restriction and the print-only model rule those out.

If you are unsure where to start, open All Prints first to see the full catalogue, then use the Wishlist to shortlist before committing to a purchase.
