Descrizione
Starting at the car park by Donegal Airport, you walk down onto the Blue Flag beach of Ballymanus. Looking out onto the bay Sula, Gabbiano reale nordico, and Gavina can be seen. Cormorano and Marangone dal ciuffo are regularly seen fishing off-shore along with a Strolaga mezzana), Strolaga minore and Strolaga maggiore. Small flocks of Moretta codona can be seen in autumn and winter especially after a period of strong winds. Edredone and Smergo minore can also be seen.
Small groups of Piovanello pancianera and Piovanello tridattilo feed along the water edge of the beach as do Beccaccia di mare and Chiurlo maggiore.
Walking to the far end of the beach brings you to a series of inlets and bays. These can hold Uria nera, Spioncello marino and a variety of Gulls. The sand banks have in the past held large numbers of Topino 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 Beccaccino, Pispola and Saltimpalo. Gracchio corallino 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 Tuffetto and Germano reale present all year. The fencing around the airport runway is worth checking for (Saltimpalo and Pispola) 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 Corriere grosso, Piovanello tridattiloand Piovanello pancianera. Chiurlo maggiore and Beccaccia di mare feed in good numbers and there is a wide range of Gulls present. Beccapesci can be seen in Summer and Cigno selvatico are often present in winter.
