Descrizione
Mullaghderg is a spectacular coastal location consisting of beach, rugged headlands with many coves and inlets and coastal grassland. It is subject to winds from the west crossing the Atlantic. After periods of gales the bay at Mullaghderg can hold large numbers of Moretta codona, Strolaga maggiore, Edredone and many other coastal birds.
Exploring the small bays and inlets can result in Uria nera, Corriere grosso, Chiurlo maggiore, Piovanello pancianera, Voltapietre and Piovanello tridattilo. Seals can be seen, and Dolphin regularly enter the bay to feed.
The coastal grasslands attract Falco pellegrino, Smeriglio and Sparviere. Gracchio corallino can be found feeding amongst the cattle. Large numbers of Pispola, Allodola and Spioncello marino can be found.
Summer does bring lots of tourists and holiday makers exploring the Wild Atlantic Way to this area. Out of season, Spring and Autumn bring in good numbers of seabirds and the bay is a most for exploring after any Atlantic gale.
