Wexford Slobs is one of Ireland's most important birdwatching sites, especially for wading birds and waterfowl.

Our Killarney picnic guide explains the glacial origins of the lakes, our forest bathing guide teaches the science behind why time in nature reduces stress, and our birdwatching materials include habitat and behavior notes. You'll understand not just where to go, but why these places matter.
