The Curragh Plains is one of the largest semi natural grasslands in Europe. The open landscape here makes it a perfect wintering destination for siewka złota. 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. czajka can also be found on the plains in varying numbers. Rarities sometimes turn up in these plover flocks, with siewka szara, biegus płowy and batalion all recorded previously.
Flocks of kwiczoł and droździk can often be seen in winter and in spring and summer białorzytka and jerzyk also regularly occur. sokół wędrowny have been seen hunting the plover flocks and other raptors have been seen on the plains such as drzemlik, pustułka (zwyczajna), krogulec and myszołów. uszatka 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.
