    Hello there,

    Welcome to Replay of our Nature Podcasts Series with Alan, Wildlife and Education Officer at Tralee Bay Wetlands Eco & Activity Park.

    We sincerely hope all of you are doing well and enjoying the May Bank Holiday.

    The first podcast in the Replay Series talks about the amphibians that inhabit our ponds. Ponds are mainly the habitats where you would find amphibians and they are a type of wetlands. Ponds are important for our wide range of wildlife. In Ireland, we have 3 types of Amphibians, the frog, newts, and the natterjack toads. Amphibians are vertebrates that require water such as a pond when they are born.

    A Christmas Podcast

    24/12/2020 | 2 mins.
    Hello Everyone,

    Seasonal Greeting from all the Team at Tralee Bay Wetlands Eco & Activity Park this Christmas. We hope that everyone is doing very well over the Festive Season we would also like to remind everyone that staying at home doesn't mean that you have to stay inside, go for walk, run, cycle and for anyone brave enough you can go for that Christmas Swim. We ask anyone that is visiting the Coast this year we urge you to "Take 3 for the Sea" initiative to pick up 3 pieces of rubbish and put them in the bin, to ensure we keep our coastline clean.

    Ireland is not void of animals during Winter we have good amount of birds coming over from mainland Europe, Canada and Iceland. If you go as far as Tralee Bay you will actually see loads of these birds as Ireland does not freeze during Winter. The birds we get are Whooper Swans, Canadian Brent Geese, Oyster Catchers, Lapwing and Curlew. At the Tralee Bay Wetlands Eco & Activity Park you can see the Curlew flying over in the morning time. To attract birds to your home or garden, the best way is by planting trees and bushes like Holly. Holly has tradition in Ireland, it is one of the noble trees of the Wood. A quick way to get birds into your home or garden, is by bird feeders filled with a mixture of nuts and seeds to attract different variety of species.

    We hope that you enjoy this very interesting Podcast and the other Nature Podcasts we released throughout the year with Alan, Education and Wildlife Officer here at Tralee Bay Wetlands Eco & Activity Park.

    We would like to send you all the best wishes and happiness for 2021. Nollaig Shona agus Athbhliain faoi Mhaise Duit.

    We would like to sincerely wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too from management, the Team at Tralee Bay Wetlands and the Lakeside Café! We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and business during 2020.

    We are looking forward to welcoming you once again to the Tralee Bay Wetlands Eco & Activity Park in 2021!
