**************************************** Saturday June 8th 2024 *********************************
Our Limerick and Clare branches are having a joint outing to Loop Head to view cliff-nesting seabirds.
Loop Head is bordered on one side by the River Shannon estuary and on the other by the Atlantic Ocean. The headland is marked by a prominent lighthouse. Loop Head is a brilliant place to see seabirds all year round. In spring and summer there is a good chance of seeing special birds and large numbers. Seabirds that breed here each summer include Kittiwake, Northern Fulmar, Common Guillemot and Razorbill. Northern Gannet feed off Loop Head.
Leaders: Nuala and Tom Lynch with Clodagh Glasgow.
