I've got a few days at the end of a family holiday next month in Co Kerry and would like to check some of the best wader sites. Can anyone recommend some or is there a list online somewhere? I'll be based in Listowel.

I know at least one I'll be visiting - Carrahane Strand (I popped in a few yrs ago and found a dowitcher there!)

thanks for any help

There isn't really I am afraid.

I would recommend you get your hands on this book.
http://birdsireland.com/pages/site_pages/features/findingbirds.html

This will provide you with all the info you need for getting around Kerry and beyond.
