Beskrivning

The Lough is a lake in south-west Cork City that holds interesting waterbirds, particularly in the winter months. Skedand can be easily seen here and at times the numbers can reach national importance. Kricka and vigg are also regular here and occasionally brunand, snatterand and stjärtand can be seen. The island on the lake provides an excellent roosting area and hundreds of corvids can be seen arriving in on winter evenings and are often joined by gråhäger and Silkeshäger. In recent years, Kohäger has also been recorded regularly.

The lake is probably best known for the chance to see rare gulls. ringnäbbad mås and medelhavstrut have been seen most winters, as have Vitvingad trut and svarthuvad mås. trädmås and vittrut have also been observed here.

In spring and summer, the lake is much quieter but sothöna breed, as do the feral grågås.
