Descrição
Mullaghderg is a spectacular coastal location consisting of beach, rugged headlands with many coves and inlets and coastal grassland. It is subject to winds from the west crossing the Atlantic. After periods of gales the bay at Mullaghderg can hold large numbers of Pato-de-cauda-afilada, Mobêlha-grande, Eider-edredão and many other coastal birds.
Exploring the small bays and inlets can result in Arau-d'asa-branca, Borrelho-grande-de-coleira, Maçarico-real, Pilrito-comum, Rola-do-mar and Pilrito-sanderlingo. Seals can be seen, and Dolphin regularly enter the bay to feed.
The coastal grasslands attract falcão-peregrino, Esmerilhão and Gavião da Europa. Gralha-de-bico-vermelho can be found feeding amongst the cattle. Large numbers of Petinha-dos-prados, Laverca and Petinha-marítima can be found.
Summer does bring lots of tourists and holiday makers exploring the Wild Atlantic Way to this area. Out of season, Spring and Autumn bring in good numbers of seabirds and the bay is a most for exploring after any Atlantic gale.
Detalhes
Acesso
Mullaghderg (55.037281, -8.37008) can be accessed by following the Wild Atlantic Way from Dungloe in the south or Bunbeg in the north. The road to the beach is opposite the Gaelic Football pitch just before Mullaghduff if coming from Dungloe. At the end of this road is a car park. Please park here and do not drive over the grassland.
There is a boardwalk down onto the beach. Please note this beach has strong undertow currents and is not safe for swimming.
To explore the headland and coves just follow the coastline. There are a number of barbed wire fences, but these are easy to cross.
