Opis
The Ridge of Cappard is part of the Slieve Blooms Mountain range straddling the Laois and Offaly border. This mountain range has some of the most important breeding populations of błotniak zbożowy and Pardwa mszarna in Ireland. Both species can be seen when walking through this part of the mountain range, and witnessing sky dancing błotniak zbożowy on a sunny spring morning is one of the greatest Irish wildlife spectacles.
The trail described here follows the boardwalk and beyond to The Stony Man. The boardwalk (blue route) runs for 2 km through heath and bogland. It's possible to continue on beyond the bordwalk and walk to The Stony Man along the Slieve Bloom Way (yellow route). The Stony Man is a stone cairn, and this spot provides an excellent vantage point over the surrounding landscape. Pardwa mszarna can be encountered while walking along the boardwalk and scanning the surrounding area from multiple locations is the best way of seeing błotniak zbożowy. Other species that can be readily encountered include świergotek łąkowy, kląskawka and potrzos. siewka złota can be seen in the winter months and during the spring migration period, while kukułka and białorzytka can be seen in the spring and summer months.
There are other routes that pass through the nearby woodlands and by the River Barrow. pluszcz has been seen on the river while krzyżodziób świerkowy, dzięcioł duży and pełzacz leśny can be found in the woodlands. drzemlik also breed on the Slieve Blooms and there is potential for the species to be spotted on the ridge. The area in general is under-birded and there is potential for much more to be discovered!

It is best to visit early in the morning to see the most species or when it is quiet as the trails and boardwalk here are popular with walkers and hikers. As with all upland areas, check the weather beforehand and do not venture on the trails when there is heavy fog or the weather is unsuitable. Please also stick to the boardwalk and trails to help protect the sensitive habitats and species found here.
