Subjects : The Dublin bay occupies about 10 km of coastline in front of Dublin city. The coast attracts thousands of birds every year, especially bark and gulls, but also ducks and geese. Of course every season reserves its species. In winter, it is possible to observe several ducks and geese including: Trousers, Royal Germano, Mestoloni, Moriglioni, Morette, Goose Colombaccio, Volpoca, but also rare species such as Moretta codona and the sea orchard. Occasionally there is also the minor stroller. In winter, many giltheads and pivots are frequent. In the spring and autumn the beaches and marshes and any good food-filled place literally fill up with limines. Pittime, Pivieresse, Seabirds, Major Piemonte, Piemonte tridattilo and Piovanello Pancianera are the most numerous species. Presented in smaller numbers Fighters and Gambecchi. In summer it is easier to observe sea birds. Among these we remember Beccapesci, Fraticello, Common City, Wanderer Marina, Sula and Berta Minor and Urie. Seals are also present.

Recommended equipment : The birds, especially the mammals, are rather confident and just a 70-300 to make good photos. Of course, in some cases a 400 mm may also be required.

Best months : All year round there are good photographic opportunities and in every season you can observe different species.

How to get there : In this stretch of coast there are several hotspots. For the suburbs, the most popular areas are the Blackrock and Sadymount beaches and especially the North Bull Island Reserve. The latter can be achieved in several ways. You can reach the Bus (130) that takes you to the city (https:////www.dublinbus.ie). The bus stops practically in front of the reserve. However, you can reach the train (DART) by going to Raheny Station. The reserve is about 1 km away. For sea birds such as Pulcinella di Mare, Sula and Urie the best places are Howth's harbor and Ireland's eye, the latter being a small island where the Fulmari breed. To reach it, take the DART from the center of Dublin and then get off at Howth. From Howth practically every hour a boat takes you to the island.

Visits : Access to Sadymount, Blackrock and North Bull is free. For a visit to Ireland's eye ferries start at 10:30 am at regular intervals.

Notes : IMPORTANT: Check tide times well (https://it.windfinder.com). In fact, when there are high tides most of the species listed above is almost absent
