Description
The harbour has a long established herd of Kuğu which are regularly fed by passers-by. This in turn attracts a significant number of gulls into the harbour, as well as a wintering flock of Tasçeviren. In summer, Karaayaklı martı from the nearby breeding colonies on Bray Head use the area for bathing and loafing.
kaya incirkuşu can give good views along the pier, while auks such as Usturagaga and yaygın alk are regular offshore. During autumn and winter storms, large numbers of Küçük martı can be seen passing by, with some resting in the harbour.
This site has been relaible wintering site for Halkalı Martı in recent years, which roosts in the harbour, or can be seen foraging along the Promenade south of the harbour.
