Animals and plants of interest
Baldoyle is of international importance as a wintering area for Brent Geese. Wading birds that winter at Baldoyle include black-tailed Godwits, Redshanks and Curlews. When the tide comes in, fish enter the estuary and become prey for diving birds like the Great-crested Grebe and the Red-breasted Merganser.
