Descrizione
Ferrybank is part of the Wexford Harbour area which is famous for its waterbird populations. This particular part is easy to access from Wexford Town and provides an opportunity to see many species on the shore and out in the harbour itself.
In this part of the harbour, Quattrocchi, Smergo minore, Svasso maggiore and Strolaga maggiore can be regularly seen in winter. Svasso piccolo, Svasso cornuto and Strolaga mezzana have also been seen from here on occasion (a telescope is recommended for the harbour).
The rock armour features at Ferrybank are regularly used for roosting at hide tide, where hundreds and sometimes thousands of waders can be seen including Pittima reale, Pavoncella and Beccaccia di mare.
During the breeding season, Forapaglie comune, Cannaiola and Porciglione nest in the reedbeds. There is also a small Topino colony establishing itself on the eroded cliff face. All of the Irish Tern species can also be seen around Ferrybank, particularly during the post-breeding season period.
