Lough Boora Parklands

Over one hundred and thirty bird species have been recorded in the parklands, including the endangered wild Grey Partridge, many of which can be seen from bird hides located throughout the complex. These include one hide designed and sited to facilitate wheelchair access.

A bird hide on high ground at Tumduff Mór provides an excellent view point for many of the parklands resident water birds.  Whilst at Tumduff Beag, a number of nesting shelters have been provided to aid the breeding of grebe, tufted duck, mallard, moor hen, lapwing and black-headed gulls, which can be seen on the lake’s island.  

Each season brings with it many different bird species.  During the winter months large numbers of waders, ducks and swans are attracted into the area while summer sees the arrival of smaller visitors such as Wheatear and Whinchat.
