Burren National Park is one of six national parks in Ireland that are managed by the National Parks and Wildlife Service of the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht. It is located in the west of Ireland within The Burren in County Clare.
The Burren region is internationally famous for its landscape and flora. A visit to the Burren during the summer months will leave a person amazed by the colourful diversity of flowering plants living together within the one ecosystem. Arctic-alpine plants living side by side with Mediterranean plants, calcicole (lime-loving) and calcifuge (acid-loving) plants growing adjacent to one another and woodland plants growing out in the open with not a tree nearby to provide shade from the sun. Also found here are certain species which, although rare elsewhere, are abundant in the Burren. Even more amazingly they all survive in a land that appears to be composed entirely of rock.
We must not forget the enormous influence of the farming community in the region. Through their farming techniques, they have managed the land in such a way as to preserve the unusual flora and habitats that remain today. Not only have these habitats been preserved by the method of management in the region, they have been enhanced and owe their existence to the farming community.
The Burren covers 1% of the land surface of Ireland and is approximately 350 km² in size. Most of the Burren is designated a Special Area of Conservation to protect this extremely unusual habitat.
Description: This lizard is Ireland’s only native reptile and is on average 10-16cm (4-6 inches) in length but can reach a length of 18cm (7 inches). The coarse, dry scales on the lizard’s back can be a variety of colours including grey, brown, copper or green, with a black stripe running down the centre of the back, and a scattering of black spots over the body. Male lizards have orange-yellow bellies with black spots, while females have creamy white bellies usually without spots. The young are produced live and not from eggs (hence the name viviparous) as is normal with reptiles. They are an important part of the kestrel’s diet and are also eaten by stoat, mink and domestic cats.
Diet: They eat insects, spiders, slugs, snails and earthworms pouncing on their prey and stunning it by shaking before swallowing it whole.
Where to find in the park: Seen basking on the limestone pavement.
When to see: They hibernate in winter occasionally emerging during warmer spells and re-emerge to breed March-October.
