9.6 Important bird sites
Three
sites in the study area are important for wetland birds and
at two of these, River Barrow and Oakpark Lake, Irish Wetland
Bird Survey (I-WeBS) counts are made annually. The most recent
I-WeBS data for these two sites are given in Table 9.4 (Colhoun,
2001). Oakpark Lake is also a pNHA (see Table 9.2). The third
site is the sugar factory settling ponds near Carlow.
