Descrição
The shallow river running along the northern edge of the mixed woodland of Forrestalstown Wood is a great spot to see Melro-d'água and occasionally Alvéola-cinzenta. The woodland holds a good variety of species including Pica-pau-malhado-grande, Gaio-comum, Chapim-rabilongo, Trepadeira-do-bosque and Estrelinha-de-poupa.
In spring and summer one can find Toutinegra-de-barrette-preto , Felosa-musical and Felosa-comum plus a number of other common woodland birds in a quiet and peaceful environment. Overhead, look out for Águia-d'asa-redonda, Corvo and the occasional falcão-peregrino.
Detalhes
Acesso
Access the area from Enniscorthy by following the N30 west towards New Ross and Waterford. Around 5.5 km out, turn right onto the R730. Continue for just over 3 km before turning left onto a minor road. Follow this road, keeping right as the road forks after about half a kilometre. Continue for another kilometre before turning left and then left again just under 2 km later. After crossing the Boro river after only a few metres there is a small car park on your left where you can begin your walk.
Exploring along the river and up into the woodland should take 2 to 3 hours. Melro-d'água can generally be found in the shallow areas of the river past the fork in the main river path (the right hand path takes you up into the wood).
