NATURE CORNER

Located on beautiful bogland there is an extremely rich biodiversity here. The landscape changes dramatically with the changing of the seasons from its blond and copper grasses in the Autumn & Winter to the vibrant greens, yellows, pinks and purples of the heathers and wildflowers in the Summer. It is also teeming with wildlife - from the arrival of the Goldeneye Ducks, Canada Geese, Heron and Whooper Swans in early Spring, along with frogspawn in the soggy ditches, and through the summer there are darting blue damselflies, dragonflies and butterflies and if lucky you can spot deer, hares and foxes.

There is wild Billberry and Blackberry picking in late Summer before the return of the beautiful Autumnal colours and crunch of leaves underfoot. The natural environment is in constant flux and for the nature-lovers among us there is never a dull moment. We are positioned in the middle of a blanket bog which is a very unique and precious habitat with an array of wildlife and even some protected species - more of which you can read about on our Precious Wildlife page. The purpose of this page, however, is to log discoveries and sightings throughout the year for those who, like us, have a "grá"for nature.
