Overview
The definitive guide to the birdwatching sites of Northern Ireland.
The six counties of this sparsely populated region span a range of diverse, wildlife-rich habitats, with some unique birding experiences on offer.
The imposing cliffs and stunning beaches of the Antrim coast are ideal for seawatching, while Rathlin Island is a birder's paradise, with breeding Corncrakes and Great Skua as well as impressive colonies of Puffin, Common Guillemot and Razorbill. Freshwater and sea loughs are hotspots for huge winter groups of waders and waterfowl, while mountains and upland moors blanketed with peat bogs host Hen Harrier and Merlin. Belfast also has some ornithological surprises, such as Black Guillemots nesting on the arches of Queens Bridge in the city centre.
Comprehensive but portable, Where to Watch Birds in Northern Ireland covers all the significant birdwatching sites across the six counties. With detailed maps and notes on access, when to visit and target species, as well as tips on getting around by public transport, this book has all the information necessary to make the most of every birding trip in Northern Ireland, whatever the time of year.
