Wildlife
Glendalough is a good place to look for some of Ireland's newest breeding species, such as the Goosander and Great Spotted Woodpecker, and some of the rarest, such as the Redstart and Wood Warbler; Peregrine, Dipper, Cuckoo, Jay and Buzzard can also be seen.

Famous quotes containing the word wildlife:
“Russian forests crash down under the axe, billions of trees are dying, the habitations of animals and birds are layed waste, rivers grow shallow and dry up, marvelous landscapes are disappearing forever.... Man is endowed with creativity in order to multiply that which has been given him; he has not created, but destroyed. There are fewer and fewer forests, rivers are drying up, wildlife has become extinct, the climate is ruined, and the earth is becoming ever poorer and uglier.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
