Bird Watching Killarney
McGillicuddy Reeks
The highest peaks in Ireland and one of only a handful of areas in Ireland where it is possible to see Ring Ouzel in summer. Chough and Wheatear are also present and in winter, Snow Buntings can be found in small numbers along the highest ridges.
Killarney National Park
Extensive broadleaved and mixed forest set among beautiful lakes and the highest mountains in Ireland. Particularly good in spring, with a wide range of typical Irish woodland and upland species, wildfowl in winter, and White-tailed Sea Eagles from the recent reintroduction scheme. Torc Waterfall and Brickeen Bridge are particularly good areas for general woodland birds, including Long-tailed Tit, Jay, Blackcap and Spotted Flycatcher.
