Description
Pollardstown Fen is recognised as an internationally important fen ecosystem and many birds breed here. A walk along the boardwalk on an early spring morning is awash with singing birds. Sarcelle d'hiver, Grèbe castagneux, Râle d'eau, Bécassine des marais, Locustelle tachetée, Phragmite des joncs and Bruant des roseaux all breed on the fen. In the surrounding woodlands, Fauvette à tête noire, Pouillot véloce, Pouillot fitis and Gobemouche gris all breed and Pigeon colombin have been recorded in the surrounding farmland.
The fen is also the best place in Kildare to see Busard des roseaux, with the species recorded sporadically in the last number of years. The area is under-birded and there is potential for many more interesting discoveries.
