Visitors to Carnlough beach urged to be mindful of nesting Ringed Plovers
Visitors to Carnlough beach are being urged to be mindful of birds nesting in the sand.
Mid and East Antrim Borough Council’s Parks and Open Spaces team said it had received reports of Ringed Plovers at the site. “These small birds nest directly on open sand, making them vulnerable to disturbance from people and dogs,” the team added.
"If you’re visiting the beach, please help by keeping dogs under close control; giving birds plenty of space, [and] being mindful of wildlife while enjoying the coast birds.”
