Rogerstown Nature Reserve
Rogerstown Nature Reserve is located within the Rogerstown inner estuary; the reserve is developing as saltmarsh with associated brackish grasslands and inter-tidal creeks.
Highlights: Pale-bellied Brent Geese and the Icelandic race of Black-tailed Godwit occur in internationally important numbers along with a further 6 species of wildfowl (Greylag Geese, Shoveler, Teal, Shelduck, Wigeon and Gadwall) and 11 wader species (Lapwing, Golden Plover, Oystercatcher, Curlew, Ringed Plover, Grey Plover, Knot, Dunlin, Sanderling, Greenshank, Redshank and Turnstone). The creeks attract a variety of passage waders, including Ruff, Green Sandpiper and Wood Sandpiper and good numbers of Little Egrets
Location: bounded by the towns of Lusk and Rush to the north, Donabate and Portrane to the south and the N1 to the west, in north County Dublin
Viewing & Access: Two hides overlook the estuary and saltmarsh; one on the south side (off Turvey Lane which is open and wardened from September to March at weekends between 10am - 3pm) and the other on the north side (off Balleally Lane). Access is on foot with limited car parking facilities. Neither hide has disabled access.
