Join our Wicklow branch for a visit to Kilcoole Marshes.
A flat coastal plain is bordered by a long straight barrier beach which was formed when sea-level was higher after the last Ice Age. The saltmarsh has nesting redshank, shelduck and mute swan. Wintering wildfowl including whooper and Bewick’s swans; greylag and brent geese are usually seen on grassland around the edge of the marshes. Ducks such as wigeon, teal, mallard and shelduck are common in winter. Pintail, shoveler, pochard, goldeneye and gadwall are occasional.
