Description
Ballyalla Lake (also known as Ballyallia Lough) is a small lake on the River Fergus, north of the town of Ennis. It covers an area of 308 hectares and is an important site for waterbirds. It has been recognised as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention and is protected by the Irish National Parks and Wildlife Service as a wildfowl sanctuary.
In winter it is very good for wildfowl especially ducks. For example Canard souchet, Canard siffleur, Canard pilet, Fuligule milouin, Fuligule morillon and Canard chipeau. And the lake hosts many species of waders on its wet meadowed shores. For example Vanneau huppé, Courlis cendré, Chevalier gambette, Barge à queue noire, Bécasseau variable and Bécassine des marais. The lake holds breeding Grèbe huppé and Grèbe castagneux. Foulque macroule and Gallinule poule-d'eau are also plentiful. Winter birds include flocks of Cygne chanteur.
