Birdwatching

The habitat around Bunduff Lough is salt water marshland which attracts a variety of birds including Whooper Swans which arrive here in October from Iceland. Mallard and teal are found here in the Winter months and occasionally shovelled, scaup and tufted duck can be seen.

There are seabirds in abundance along the coast, including nesting Fulmars, Manx Shearwater, Oystercatchers and Puffins. It is possible to see birds of prey in the inland and upland areas, including kestrels and peregrines. For more see Sligo Birding
