Lough Boora Parklands

A recent count of the native endangered species Grey Partridge-Perdix Perdix carried out by the National Parks and Wildlife Service recorded 436 birds in the Boora conservation area.

This is the highest number ever recorded in the area and ten years ago the number recorded was a mere 26 birds.

This is a great success story to date and gives the prospect that the last wild and indigenous population of Grey Partridge in Ireland will survive and prosper into the future.
