The bird hide in Portumna Forest Park gives great views of havsörn. Many other walks possible in the area and many other birds to see.
The whole Portumna Forest Park (450 hectare) has beautiful walks to suit all ages. The bird hide has information boards on the havsörn. But many types of small finches, tits, and water fowls can be seen here. Lough Derg is a great place for birdwatching as it is supports important populations of both breeding and overwintering birds. The large numbers of resident birds are joined by summer visitors and others that arrive in winter. From the bird hide you can see birds like havsörn, vigg, sothöna, Smådopping, gråhäger, småskrake, knipa and ormvråk.
Portumna Forest Park is located just west of Portumna Town. The Park can be accessed from the R352 or you can walk from Portumna Marina close to the centre of town. Entrance at the main road from Portumna large car park. From there it's a 10 minutes walk to the bird hide. Circular Forest and lakeside walks from 1,4 km to 10 km.
