mountbellew lake

The lake and its hinterland is a preserved wildlife haven for Duck (Mallard, Teal), Wild Geese, Coot, Heron, Pheasant, Swans and Cygnets. One of the islands towards the east of the lake is known as Crane Island but a sighting of these birds is a rare event nowadays. Several species of song birds inhabit the surrounding wood and farmlands.
