Due
to its location on the east coast there is a good variety of coastal habitat to
be found including beaches, cliffs, islands and estuaries as well as
agricultural land, woodland etc.. Rockabill Island off the coast from Skerries
holds one of Europe's largest breeding colonies of Rosate Terns while during the
winter months Rogerstown Estuary holds internationally important numbers of
Pale-bellied Brent Geese, along with a further 10 species of wintering waterfowl
in nationally important numbers, including Wigeon and Black-tailed Godwit.
