Descrição
The Curragh Plains is one of the largest semi natural grasslands in Europe. The open landscape here makes it a perfect wintering destination for Tarambola-dourada. 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. Abibe-comum can also be found on the plains in varying numbers. Rarities sometimes turn up in these plover flocks, with Tarambola-dourada-pequena, Pilrito-canela and Combatente all recorded previously.
Flocks of Tordo-zornal and Tordo-ruivo-comum can often be seen in winter and in spring and summer Chasco-cinzento and Andorinhão-preto also regularly occur. falcão-peregrino have been seen hunting the plover flocks and other raptors have been seen on the plains such as Esmerilhão, peneireiro-de-dorso-malhado / peneireiro, Gavião da Europa and Águia-d'asa-redonda. Bufo-pequeno 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.
