Site Details
A large, reed-fringed freshwater lough on the southeast side of Brandon Bay. In winter, good numbers of wildfowl can be found here, including a regular flock of Scaup. Note that numbers can vary due to disturbance and/or shooting. Rarities include Surf Scoter, Lesser Scaup and regular Ring-necked Ducks. Due to the lough's exposed nature, a calm day is essential for the decent views.
