Descripción
The Curragh Plains is one of the largest semi natural grasslands in Europe. The open landscape here makes it a perfect wintering destination for Chorlito Dorado Europeo. In recent years, the flock has up to 3500 to 4000 birds and seeing this flock wheel around on calm winter evenings is quite a spectacle. Avefría Europea can also be found on the plains in varying numbers. Rarities sometimes turn up in these plover flocks, with Chorlito Dorado Americano, Correlimos Canelo and Combatiente all recorded previously.
Flocks of Zorzal Real and Zorzal Alirrojo can often be seen in winter and in spring and summer Collalba Gris and Vencejo Común also regularly occur. Halcón Peregrino have been seen hunting the plover flocks and other raptors have been seen on the plains such as Esmerejón, Cernícalo vulgar, Gavilán Común and Busardo ratonero. Búho Chico has been recorded breeding in the small stands of woodland on the plains.
The Curragh is under-birded and has the potential for many more discoveries in the future.
