Foyle is famous for its autumn migrants with wildfowl and waders in abundance
including Whooper Swans and Brent Geese. In autumn the birds are here for
one thing - the mud and food which the Lough provides.
| |  | Estuaries are great habitats for wildlife during the autumn.
They provide plentiful food for birds including waders and swans.
| |  | - Estuaries
offer fantastic opportunities for wildlife watching including bird watching and
rock pooling.
