Beschrijving

The Annagh Marsh complex extends over 30 hectares at the southernmost part of the Special Protection Area (SPA) of Termoncarragh Lake and Annagh Machair. It is internationally important for large winter gatherings of geese, ducks and swans. During the winter months, the morning and evening skies come alive with the sounds of Brandgans as they fly back and forth from the offshore islands and Termoncarragh. Also Wilde Zwaan and Alpenkraai feed on the grasslands. Annagh Marsh is the southernmost breeding site in the world for Grauwe Franjepoot, but extremely rare. Other breeding birds are Kievit, Watersnip, Veldleeuwerik, Rietzanger and Rietgors. With luck, you might also see or hear Bonte Strandloper, Sprinkhaanzanger or Kwartelkoning.
