Beschrijving
Diverse habitats offer a wide range of species within a small area close to Enniscorthy Town. River birds such as IJsvogel , Dodaars , Blauwe Reiger and Kleine Zilverreiger can be seen regularly.
Alders along the first part of the trail often hold Sijs and Kleine Barmsijs in winter while the same season sees the flooded fields hold large flocks of Kievit and Goudplevier along with Wintertaling , Wilde Eend and occasionally Smient. Spring migration can bring Oeverloper and Tureluur.
Further along the trail, the scrub holds Roodborsttapuit whilst the woods nearby have Buizerd and Gaai.
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 Grote Gele Kwikstaart, Waterspreeuw, Blauwe Reiger and gulls, at low tide.
Otters and grey seals (at high tide) are both seen regularly even close to the town.

Toegang
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 Kwak was once seen along this tributary and the area is also good for IJsvogel and Grauwe Vliegenvanger. 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.
