Birdsireland

Birdsireland, based at Newcastle in County Wicklow, offers guided birdwatching for visitors keen to get to know Ireland’s wild birds. Outings are led by an experienced guide, with optics and identification help provided, and are suited to beginners as well as more seasoned birders.

The east Wicklow coast around Newcastle and the Murrough is a strong area for waders, wildfowl and passage migrants, with woodland and upland species within easy reach inland. Trips are typically arranged by booking in advance, with timing shaped by the season, tides and what is about on the day.
