Beschreibung

Walking between Carne Harbour and Carnsore Point offers sandy tidal beaches interspersed with large rocks and boulders which provides foraging and roosting habitat for many coastal species. The most common waders seen throughout the year are Großer Brachvogel, Alpenstrandläufer, Austernfischer, Sandregenpfeifer and Sanderling as well as a chance of Meerstrandläufer in the winter months. There are also arable fields along the trail which sometimes have Hohltaube present.

Due to its close proximity to Lady's Island Lake, this area is a popular foraging and loafing area for breeding Schwarzkopfmöwe and Rosenseeschwalbe. Küstenseeschwalbe, Flußseeschwalbe and Brandseeschwalbe are also seen here in high numbers, particularly in the post-breeding season in August where hundreds of terns can be seen together on the rocks at Carne and at Crossfintan Point.

Carnsore Point is the most south-easterly point in Ireland. It is often the first or last landfall for migrants in the country and it's possible to see large numbers of them in spring and autumn. It's also a seawatching spot with Basstölpel, Atlantiksturmtaucher, Sterntaucher, Eistaucher and Trauerente often recorded during suitable weather conditions. On good seawatching days, Gelbschnabelsturmtaucher and Dunkler Sturmtaucher have also been observed on multiple occasions in recent years.
