Lough Boora Parklands

Over 150 Whooper swans have been spotted on the Noggus Bog flood, which qualifies as an internationally significant number.  This shot was taken mid November 2009. 

During the winter months Whooper swan’s can be seen regularly throughout the parklands, however to see such a large number in one sitting is unusual.  

Many of the swans can be seen loafing or roosting on bare peat areas, whilst others are seen feeding on the grasslands within the parklands.   The whooper swans have arrived mainly from Iceland, escaping the colder locations in search of warmer climates and more food.

Why not take advantage of the wonderful bird watching facilities available at Lough Boora parklands this winter!.
