Description
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 Courlis cendré, Bécasseau variable, Huîtrier pie, Grand Gravelot and Bécasseau sanderling as well as a chance of Bécasseau violet in the winter months. There are also arable fields along the trail which sometimes have Pigeon colombin present.
Due to its close proximity to Lady's Island Lake, this area is a popular foraging and loafing area for breeding Mouette mélanocéphale and Sterne de Dougall. Sterne arctique, Sterne pierregarin and Sterne caugek 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 Fou de Bassan, Puffin des Anglais, Plongeon catmarin, Plongeon imbrin and Macreuse noire often recorded during suitable weather conditions. On good seawatching days, Puffin cendré and Puffin fuligineux have also been observed on multiple occasions in recent years.
