Expert Denis Cullen is hosting a bird watching session at the Bird Hide in Tramore Nature Park at 10.30am – 12.30pm.
Come along to see some of the waterbirds that winter in Tramore
The Bird Hide is positioned overlooking Tramore back strand, and was was funded by Waterford City and County Council, under the Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme in partnership with Tramore Eco Group, with financial support from Tramore Tidy Towns.
The location of the bird hide is of particular significance as Tramore’s back strand is an important habitat for a variety of birds, in particular little egrets, oystercatchers, herons, snipes and sanderlings.

Outing to Westfields to celebrate World Wetlands Day Sunday 2nd February 10am-11.30am Register for this free event here https://tinyurl.com/mrvnt5ra
Westfields gives an excellent opportunity to view wintering wildfowl and to learn about the importance of wetlands. Although we can never guarantee what birds will be there on the day we hope to see Coot and Moorhen and Tufted Duck, the resident mute swans, heron and blackhead gulls along with a possibility of Pochard, Gadwall, little Grebes and others. Westfields is a central location to view wintering wildfowl.
Tom Tarpey from the Limerick Branch of BirdWatch Ireland will lead the outing. Please dress appropriately for the weather, waterproofs, hats, sensible footwear etc.
We are hosting our first ‘guide in the Hide’ event for anyone who would like to learn more about our wonderful wetlands and the birds that rely on them.
Join our expert volunteers in the Borrow Dyke viewing Hide at Harper’s Island Wetlands for a birdwatching session.
You will all have a chance to ask questions, see the birds through one of our telescopes and get some tips on bird ID, binoculars, telescopes and ID Guide books too.
Date: Sunday Feb 2nd.
Drop in any time between 10am and 1pm
