Pool and hummock bog complex, ornithology.

All year.

The reserve is a fine example of pool and hummock bog complex. The area is particularly rich in cranberry, Vaccinium oxycoccus and sundew Drosera spp, while the pools contain a wide variety of Sphagnum spp.

Colonies of black headed gulls nest in the reserve as do teal which give the small open areas of water its name. A wider range of wildfowl frequent the lough in winter.
