Descrizione
The Lower Galtee Mountains may not be as tall as nearby Galtybeg and Galtymore, but they offer a mix of habitats with a wider diversity of species presence throughout the year. At the car parks, there is a mix of decidious and coniferous woodland which is excellent for Rampichino alpestre, Ghiandaia and Crociere comune. Picchio rosso maggiore has also recently colonised the area.
Above the treeline, there is a mix of blanket bog and heather/moorland. Multiple raptor species can be encountered here, including Albanella reale, Smeriglio, Gheppio and Falco pellegrino, particularly in the winter and spring. The area of Tullanebone Mountain is probably the best area for these species. It is also the best area for seeing and hearing Pernice bianca nordica, particularly in February and March. March is arguably the best month for a hike in this area to see all these species and there is also a chance of encountering waders such as Piviere dorato, Beccaccino and Frullino.
In the summer, Allodola, Pispola, Saltimpalo, Culbianco and Cuculo can all be encountered. In the recently felled plantations and immature woodlands, Beccaccia can be seen roding at dusk and there is also a chance of seeing Succiacapre which has been recorded in the area on occasion.
Dettagli
Accesso
There are multiple car parks (see map) and trail options available. The best option to see the most species is to hike to Tullanebone Mountain. Some of the trails are very steep and can be slippery especially in the winter so caution is advised. There are a number of gates on the trails, please remember to close them after you.
A car is the best option for getting to the area. Buses and a train run to the nearest town in Cahir. It is possble to cycle from the town if one has a mountain bike but be prepared for some steep climbing and poor trail conditions at times.

Other than birds, it is easy to see Fallow Deer in the area. Irish Hare, Pine Marten and Red Fox can also be encountered. The general area is also very good for Barbagianni and one may encounter one early in the morning or late in the evening when travelling to and from the mountains.
Like any mountain, the weather can change drastically and it's important to prepare for all weather and check the forecast before going out.
