Opis
Glendowns Pond is a small man-made lake next to Glendowns estate in Portlaoise with a surprising amount of birdlife and a great place for wildlife photography. zimorodek, krzyżówka and kokoszka (zwyczajna) are all resident and breed here. czapla siwa and czapla nadobna breed in the mature trees surrounding the pond. These mature trees also play host to many smaller birds, including breeding mysikrólik and muchołówka szara. Other species that can be seen include kapturka, pierwiosnek, piecuszek, raniuszek zwyczajny, gil and occasionally, pełzacz leśny.
Spring and early summer is the best time to see the most amount of species. Winter is also of interest as there is a huge corvid roost in the trees surrounding the pond, with thousands of kawka and gawron coming in from the countryside and the rest of town to sleep together which makes for a quite a spectacle on cold calm evenings!
myszołów and krogulec occasionally pass through, as do sokół wędrowny, who can often be seen on the nearby St. Peter and Pauls' Church. płomykówka (zwyczajna) has also been seen and heard here at night and may even breed close by.
A zniczek was seen here for a number of weeks in 2025 and may have even bred, typifying the importance of the mature trees around the pond and the surprises that can be unearthed here!
