Little Terns, which are among Europe’s rarest seabirds, have been identified nesting at the south east corner of the beach at Curracloe, covering an area just over 1 hectare in size. The National Parks and Wildlife Service of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage has erected a number of signs requesting that visitors to Curracloe beach and the Raven stay well back from the signposted area, so the birds have a chance to hatch their eggs and rear the chicks without disturbance.
