Site Details
Situated on the north side of the Loop Head peninsula and at the southwestern extremity of Galway Bay, the Bridges of Ross are perhaps the most famous seawatching site in Europe. Seawatching is at its best in a strong northwesterly blow between July and November, preferably preceded by southwesterly winds that blow birds in to Galway Bay. In suitable conditions, the sheer number and variety of seabirds passing the point as they reorientate westwards out of the bay can be spectacular.
