Opis
Lough Atalia is a tidal estuary close to Galway City. Despite the tidal nature of the lough, a high level of water generaly remains even at low tide. In winter, flocks of krakwa, ohar, cyraneczka and świstun can be encountered here most days. kulik wielki, kwokacz, czajka and kszyk can also be readily observed here. These species can often be close to the paths and shore and offer excellent opportunities for photography without disturbing the birds, especially for species like krakwa, świstun and kszyk which are normally observed from afar in Ireland. Further out in the Lough, perkozek and perkoz dwuczuby can be seen and sometimes lodowiec and nur rdzawoszyi come in from the coast to forage.
In the summer, Lough Atalia is much quieter, however there are rafts in the middle of the lough where rybitwa rzeczna have been breeding over the last few summers and the birds can be seen regulalry commuting and fishing around the lough.
zimorodek can also be encountered at Lough Atalia throughout the year, with some great photographic opportunties if you're lucky! Rarities that have been recorded here recently include ibis kasztanowaty and hełmiatka.
