Descripción
Starting at the car park by Donegal Airport, you walk down onto the Blue Flag beach of Ballymanus. Looking out onto the bay Alcatraz Atlántico, Gaviota argéntea europea, and Gaviota Cana can be seen. Cormorán Grande and Cormorán Moñudo are regularly seen fishing off-shore along with a Colimbo Ártico), Colimbo Chico and Colimbo Grande. Small flocks of Pato Havelda can be seen in autumn and winter especially after a period of strong winds. Éider común and Serreta Mediana can also be seen.
Small groups of Correlimos Común and Correlimos Tridáctilo feed along the water edge of the beach as do Ostrero Euroasiático and Zarapito Real.
Walking to the far end of the beach brings you to a series of inlets and bays. These can hold Arao Aliblanco, Bisbita Costero and a variety of Gulls. The sand banks have in the past held large numbers of Avión Zapador but pressure from disturbance has reduced the numbers.
Beyond the small bay with the fishing pier is an area of coastal grassland and further bays to explore. This area is covered in flowers in spring and is a good location for Agachadiza común, Bisbita Pratense and Tarabilla común. Chova Piquirroja can also be found.
Returning from the headland it is worth crossing over and walking down to Annargy Estuary (Braade Strand). On the way you pass a freshwater lake with Zampullín Común and Ánade azulón present all year. The fencing around the airport runway is worth checking for (Tarabilla común and Bisbita Pratense) which gather on the top of the fence.
At low tide it is safe to walk out into the estuary (Braade Strand)in order to find high numbers of Chorlitejo Grande, Correlimos Tridáctiloand Correlimos Común. Zarapito Real and Ostrero Euroasiático feed in good numbers and there is a wide range of Gulls present. Charrán Patinegro can be seen in Summer and Cisne Cantor are often present in winter.
