Students moving overseas to study are not the only ones busy migrating in September. Around Dublin Port and especially at Bull Island, migrating birds are winging their way to their winter habitats. They will cover enormous distances, and it must be hard work – but at least they don’t have to worry about packing and visas. Few of humans can claim to be as free as a bird, and an overseas move from Dublin really reminds us of much stuff and hassle fill our lives. Maybe that’s why so many of us enjoy seeing all the different kinds of birds flying together or stopping to feed and rest.
In mid to late September flocks of Brent Geese arrive at Bull Island, but these guys are early birds. The best time to see Brent Geese at Bull Island is later in October. Autumn is also when you can see Curlew Sandpiper, Ruff, Spotted Redshank and Little Stint at Bull Island. Wigeon ducks are amber-listed and only seen in large numbers at ten places in Ireland, but they do like Bull Island. The Pintails is another duck that likes to move to Dublin for the winter. Owls are not usually out and about during the day, but in the winter visitors to Bull Island might see a short eared owl out hunting in the afternoon.
If you are considering or preparing for a move from Dublin taking some time out to visit Bull Island’s wildlife can be a nice, relaxing break from the stress associated with an overseas move. Moving is one of the most stressful life events, and getting out in nature helps many people feel calmer and more at peace.
Another thing you can do to reduce stress about your move from Dublin is to hire experts to ship your personal belongings. At Spratt Personal Shipping, we can collect your things from your home and deliver them right to your new house overseas. We can’t make your overseas move quick as effortless as that of the Brent Geese or Curlew Sandpiper, but we can offer you enormous peace of mind by palletizing your belongings, wrapping them in ultra-strong shrink wrap and keeping them safely under CCTV surveillance in our secure warehouse until they are shipped. You can choose to have them delivered to your new home or to the nearest port where you can collect them or arrange for delivery at your convenience when you’ve settled in. And who knows… maybe some of the birds winging around your new location have themselves spent time in Ireland.
