Beschrijving

The harbour has a long established herd of Knobbelzwaan which are regularly fed by passers-by. This in turn attracts a significant number of gulls into the harbour, as well as a wintering flock of Steenloper. In summer, Drieteenmeeuw from the nearby breeding colonies on Bray Head use the area for bathing and loafing.

Oeverpieper can give good views along the pier, while auks such as Alk and Zeekoet are regular offshore. During autumn and winter storms, large numbers of Dwergmeeuw can be seen passing by, with some resting in the harbour.

This site has been relaible wintering site for Ringsnavelmeeuw in recent years, which roosts in the harbour, or can be seen foraging along the Promenade south of the harbour.
