Glenveagh National Park lies in the heart of County Donegal, among the wild and rugged landscape of the Derryveagh Mountains.
The blanket bog and heath habitat that covers the vast majority of Glenveagh is home to a number of bird species including skylarks, red grouse, curlew and snipe. However, no bird captures the character of the uplands more evocatively than the golden plover (Pluvialis apricaria).
