Our Sligo branch invite you to join them for an outing to Lissadell and Raghly to Barnacle Geese. About 3000 Barnacle Geese arrive in October to spend the winter in North Sligo. The Ballygilgan Nature Reserve is one of the best sites in Ireland for seeing these geese in winter. The geese breed in Greenland in the summer and spend the winter in Ireland. They graze in Lissadell – Maugherow area every winter until April, spending every night on the island of Inishmurray.

Meet in Cartron car park at 12.00 noon
