Descrizione
Blanket Nook Wildfowl Sanctuary is a site that it was reclaimed in the 19th century through the construction of an embankment cutting off over 1000 acres of mudflat from the Swilly estuary. The brackish lagoon that was formed is an important habitat for roosting and feeding birds, particularly waders. The area is an important stopping and staging site for migratory birds in autumn/winter when they first make landfall to Ireland from several countries including Iceland, Greenland and Northern Canada. Similarly, these migratory birds stop here before making the thousands of kilometre journey back to their breeding grounds.
