Descrizione

Diverse habitats offer a wide range of species within a small area close to Enniscorthy Town. River birds such as Martin pescatore , Tuffetto , Airone cenerino and Garzetta can be seen regularly.

Alders along the first part of the trail often hold Lucherino and Organetto minore in winter while the same season sees the flooded fields hold large flocks of Pavoncella and Piviere dorato along with Alzavola , Germano reale and occasionally Fischione. Spring migration can bring Piro piro piccolo and Pettegola.

Further along the trail, the scrub holds Saltimpalo whilst the woods nearby have Poiana and Ghiandaia.

The first section up until the bridge is wheelchair accessible and most species should be viable from this stretch.

It is also worth taking a look at the river area both between and a little beyond the two bridges in the centre of Enniscorthy town for Ballerina gialla, Merlo acquaiolo, Airone cenerino and gulls, at low tide.

Otters and grey seals (at high tide) are both seen regularly even close to the town.

Dettagli

Accesso

In Enniscorthy, park in the car park next to the children's playground near the Riverside Hotel and follow the obvious riverside path. The alders along this first stretch should be investigated for finches in winter. Just before the bridge over the tributary the area of scrub and woodland to the right following the Urrin tributary should be explored also - a Nitticora was once seen along this tributary and the area is also good for Martin pescatore and Pigliamosche. The flooded fields are best viewed from the bridge and a telescope is useful.

The trail continues along the river through a scrubby area before finishing at an impassable flooded area, though there is access up into the woodland area when dry.
