Spend some time in Bird Hide

“A truly breathtaking experience not to be missed.”
“As we took a wonderful stroll around the perfectly peaceful lake we found this quaint bird watching hut. The water was calm, and although very cold, the glorious sunshine was at its peak with not a fraction of wind. As we watched silently studying the surroundings, we were patient to observe something magical. We listened with opened ears to the songs sung to us by the soaring birds. Our first observation was of a kingfisher, which was perched up high. Suddenly it caught sight of something on the lake. It opened up its incredible wingspan and launched itself towards the lake diving at an unbelievable rate of knots. It scraped the surface of the water, dropped its legs, and then took off into the sky with what looked to be a fish of some sort. An extraordinary sight from such a magnificent creature with the most spectacular colourings. As we watched on, we could hear the almighty squawk which we believed to be the swan. We scoured the lake and found where the noise was coming from. It was a splendid sight of a family of otters! These nocturnal creatures had surfaced, for us to enjoy, in their natural surroundings. A wonderful sight to see. A truly breathtaking experience not to be missed.”“This is heaven…”
“Stephen and I, walking in the fresh air around the Lough. This is heaven. We’ve had an amazing break here, recharging our batteries. We’re off back to our lodge now. Got roast pork in the oven, going to have a lovely meal and then sink into the hot tub and sip Champagne. In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger, “we will be back.”
