Visiting Dublin Late March: Query (1 Viewer)

[David Swain]

I am traveling (from the US) to Dublin last week of March 2022 for a conference, and have several days (but no car) to do some birding around the city and possibly further afield by public transport. I am considering bringing tripod and scope for places like North Bull and Howth or Poolbeg and Sandymount, but is it worth the effort? I welcome recommendations around the city and within reach by public transport. Thanks in advance.

Bull Island is good, but check the tide times. Also, consider Swords/Baldoyle estuaries if you have the time. Also, I don't know if it's still possible, but you can see Puffins and other auks if you can get to Ireland's Eye (island) from Howth. If you do go to Bull Island, take a quick look in St Anne's Park for woodland birds.
