Descrição

Diverse habitats offer a wide range of species within a small area close to Enniscorthy Town. River birds such as Guarda-rios-comum , Mergulhão-pequeno , Garça-real and Garça-branca-pequena can be seen regularly.

Alders along the first part of the trail often hold Lugre and pintarroxo-pequeno in winter while the same season sees the flooded fields hold large flocks of Abibe-comum and Tarambola-dourada along with Marrequinha-comum , Pato-real and occasionally Piadeira. Spring migration can bring Maçarico-das-rochas and Perna-vermelha-comum.

Further along the trail, the scrub holds Cartaxo-comum whilst the woods nearby have Águia-d'asa-redonda and Gaio-comum.

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 Alvéola-cinzenta, Melro-d'água, Garça-real and gulls, at low tide.

Otters and grey seals (at high tide) are both seen regularly even close to the town.

Detalhes

Acesso

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 Socó-taquari was once seen along this tributary and the area is also good for Guarda-rios-comum and Papa-moscas-cinzento. 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.
