Descrição
Inishbofin is a scenic island with plenty of birding opportunities throughout the year and is well worth a day or weekend trip. The southern section of the island is mainly composed of agricultural land and this is where multiple pairs of breeding Codornizão are found, thanks to traditional farming methods and strong local conservation initatives. If staying overnight, you will most likely hear them from the bed, especially from the Inishbofin hostel/camp site and Dolphin Hotel! Other species that breed in this part of the island include Abibe-comum, Narceja-comum and Laverca.
The northern section of the island is more rugged, hilly and interspersed with pools of varying sizes. The coastline is also more dramatic, with steep cliffs, blow holes and sea stacks present. Borrelho-grande-de-coleira, Maçarico-das-rochas, Ostraceiro and Chasco-cinzento breed in this part of the island. On the cliffs and sea stacks, there are Fulmar-glacial and Corvo-marinho-de-crista breeding. The nest holes of Pardela-sombria can be seen in a few locations in the northern section of the island and the birds may be seen or heard if visiting after sunset. There are also wild Pombo-doméstico that still breed on the cliffs and sea caves. Gralha-de-bico-vermelho can also be found here, particularly in the north-western part of the island. In the winter, a significant flock of wintering Ganso-de-faces-brancas can be seen on the island or commuting to nearby Inishshark Island.
Inishbofin is also famous for its rarities that turn up during spring and autumn migration and make it a go to destination for many birders at that time of year. During spring migration, Rola-comum, Papa-figos and Poupa have been recorded on multiple occasions in recent years. Similarly, Felosa-boreal, Toutinegra-gavião, Felosa-bilistada, Torcicolo, Escrevedeira da Lapónia and Pintarroxo-carmíneo have been recorded recently during autumn migration. The last few autumn migrations on the island have produced some impressive North American species, including Alder Flycatcher, Baltimore Oriole, Blackpoll Warbler, Black and White Warbler and Tennessee Warbler!
