Descripción
Loop Head is bordered on one side by the River Shannon estuary and on the other by the Atlantic Ocean. The headland is marked by a prominent lighthouse. Loop Head is a brilliant place to see seabirds all year round. In spring and summer there is a good chance of seeing special birds and large numbers. Seabirds that breed here each summer include Gaviota Tridáctila, Fulmar Boreal, Arao Común and Alca Común. Alcatraz Atlántico feed off Loop Head.
Autumn is the best time of year to visit the headland due to the autumn passage of an amazing array of seabirds, waders and passerines. Late July to early November are the most productive months when West and NW winds blow many of the passing seabirds close to shore, so allowing excellent viewing. Seabirds regularly seen here in good numbers include Pardela Pichoneta, Pardela Sombría, Paíño Europeo, Paíño Boreal, Págalo Grande, Págalo Pomarino and Págalo Parásito. Regular passage migrants in autumn include Papamoscas Gris, Papamoscas Cerrojillo, Curruca Zarcerilla, Tarabilla Norteña, Curruca Mosquitera, Curruca Capirotada, Colirrojo Tizón, Pinzón Real, Escribano Nival and Escribano Lapón.
Rare birds that have been recorded here include Escribano Hortelano, Chorlito Dorado Americano, Agujeta Escolopácea, Torcecuello Euroasiático, Camachuelo Carminoso, Golondrina Dáurica, Curruca Gavilana, Mosquitero Bilistado, Escribano Pigmeo and Escribano Rústico.
