Descripción
Lough Atalia is a tidal estuary close to Galway City. Despite the tidal nature of the lough, a high level of water generaly remains even at low tide. In winter, flocks of Ánade friso, Tarro Blanco, Cerceta Común and Silbón Europeo can be encountered here most days. Zarapito Real, Archibebe Claro, Avefría Europea and Agachadiza común can also be readily observed here. These species can often be close to the paths and shore and offer excellent opportunities for photography without disturbing the birds, especially for species like Ánade friso, Silbón Europeo and Agachadiza común which are normally observed from afar in Ireland. Further out in the Lough, Zampullín Común and Somormujo Lavanco can be seen and sometimes Colimbo Grande and Colimbo Chico come in from the coast to forage.
In the summer, Lough Atalia is much quieter, however there are rafts in the middle of the lough where Charrán Común have been breeding over the last few summers and the birds can be seen regulalry commuting and fishing around the lough.
Martín Pescador Común can also be encountered at Lough Atalia throughout the year, with some great photographic opportunties if you're lucky! Rarities that have been recorded here recently include Morito Común and Pato Colorado.
