Avifauna

Avifauna (birds)

The Estuary has long been famous for its beautiful mute Swans, and Light-bellied Brent Geese are so numerous on the Swords Estuary as to be of international importance.

Environmental Impact Study

The Environmental Impact Study concluded that once the bridge was constructed, it should have little or no effect on aquatic or avian life, and that the most serious effects would be during the construction process. This is self-evident at present, and it is to be hoped that the conclusions which were arrived at in the report are borne out, otherwise, a natural resource of great importance and beauty will have been destroyed.
