The largest dune loch in Britain, the Loch of Strathbeg is surrounded by marshes, reedbeds, grassland and dunes. An amazing 252 species of birds have been recorded here.
In winter several hundred whooper swans are present while thousands of pinkfeet and greylag geese roost on the loch. Eider ducks, shellducks, shovelers, great crested grebes and water rails all breed here. The reserve is a vital staging post for migrant birds and good place to see ruff, black-tailed godwit and spotted redshank.
