Beskrivning
Dun Laoghaire Harbour is a leisure marina and commerical harbour in south Dublin with two long piers. Along with nearby Scotsmans Bay, it offers long walks and chances to see a variety of gulls, terns and waders all year round. It is one of the best places to see svarthuvad mås and skärsnäppa in Dublin. The two piers offer multiple viewing points for coastal species within the harbour and beyond in South Dublin Bay.
svartnäbbad islom and smålom are frequently seen in winter and it is possible to photograph them at close range when they venture into the harbour itself. storlom can also be seen here occasionally. skäggdopping, sjöorre and småskrake can be ecountered beyond the harbour, particularly from the west pier. The east pier is better known for its waders including skärsnäppa, roskarl and större strandpipare.
Terns can be seen here in the summer and there are also breeding tobisgrissla within the harbour. gråhakedopping and flocks of dvärgmås have been observed here in recent years and is also a reliable spot for svart rödstjärt in winter. Scotsmans Bay is also worth walking along towards Forty Foot for gulls and terns, particulalry for occasional large numbers of svarthuvad mås.
