islands around armagh

Oxford Island is a peninsula on the south-east shore of Lough Neagh. The nature reserve supports a wide range of habitats including wet meadows, reedbeds, woodlands and shoreline scrub, all of which are typical of the lake shore. Sheltered bays provide a refuge for large numbers of wintering wildflow, especially diving ducks that can be easily seen from birdwatching hides overlooking the lough. Whopper and bewick's swans can usually be found grazing on neighbouring fields.
