Beschrijving
Dun Laoghaire Harbour is a leisure marina and commerical harbour in south Dublin with two long piers. Along with nearby Scotsmans Bay, it offers long walks and chances to see a variety of gulls, terns and waders all year round. It is one of the best places to see Zwartkopmeeuw and Paarse Strandloper in Dublin. The two piers offer multiple viewing points for coastal species within the harbour and beyond in South Dublin Bay.
IJsduiker and Roodkeelduiker are frequently seen in winter and it is possible to photograph them at close range when they venture into the harbour itself. Parelduiker can also be seen here occasionally. Fuut, Zwarte Zee-eend and Middelste Zaagbek can be ecountered beyond the harbour, particularly from the west pier. The east pier is better known for its waders including Paarse Strandloper, Steenloper and Bontbekplevier.
Terns can be seen here in the summer and there are also breeding Zwarte Zeekoet within the harbour. Roodhalsfuut and flocks of Dwergmeeuw have been observed here in recent years and is also a reliable spot for Zwarte Roodstaart in winter. Scotsmans Bay is also worth walking along towards Forty Foot for gulls and terns, particulalry for occasional large numbers of Zwartkopmeeuw.
