TO celebrate World Wildlife Day, the community in Tralee came together on Sunday morning to attend the first Clean Coasts Roadshow of the year in Kerry, which entailed a birdwatching event.
Clean Coasts teamed up with Tralee Tidy Towns to run a birdwatching walk on Cocklelshell Beach in Tralee with Ed Carty.
Ed is a very knowledgeable birdwatcher, interesting and informative, who ran a magnificent walk and talk on the wild birds of the Special Protection Area and the beaches around Tralee and the wider Tralee Bay area.

Trisha O’Halloran from Fenit Coast Conservation gave a talk on their seagrass project and did a litter pick as the rest of the group listened to Ed’s stories and observations.
Elaine from Clean Coasts gave a talk about the ‘Think Before You Flush campaign’. “The walk was relaxed, enjoyable and very interesting. Some goats even came to see the group when we returned to our starting point,” she said.
The Clean Coasts Roadshow is a series of informative talks and workshops tailored for coastal communities across Ireland, taking place between January and May each year. This initiative brings together individuals interested in protecting their local beaches, seas, and marine environments.
