Outdoor Activities - Bird Watching  

With so much unspoilt countryside, dense woodland and numerous tranquil nature reserves, the region is a bird watcher’s paradise. There are many rare prizes to spot, including the Brent geese that fly each year to Strangford Lough, herons stalking fish in remote rivers and birds of prey hovering above mountain ranges. Bird lovers can spend hours in special bird hides in all kinds of beautiful places, from mountain slopes to remote islands to the gardens of stately homes.
