Join our Dublin Tolka branch fro an outing to Broadmeadows Estuary Broadmeadows Estuary in Swords, North County Dublin is one of the best bird watching sites in Dublin. It is recognised as a hotspot for birding in Dublin as it regularly attracts rare birds. A rare white-rumped sandpiper visited the estuary in early August 2021. Broadmeadows is a large tidal estuary that is a haven for birds in Autumn, Winter and Spring. At low tide, large areas of mudflats are exposed providing rich feeding grounds for many different types of waders. Large numbers of Brent Geese flock to the estuary in winter. You can also expect to see Teal, Wigeon, Shelduck, Mallard, Mute Swans and large numbers of waders. Redshank and Greenshank are common. Snipe can sometimes be seen at the edges of the reed beds.
