More Winter Images of Native Red Deer taken on the grounds of the Lake Hotel in Killarney. Unusual to get such pure snow in Killarney.

2010-01-24T01:53:00.000-08:00

What a winter first the Flood around the Hotel, next came the frost and freezing temperatures followed by the snow. It was tough for travelling but it was a spectacular winter with Alpine snow in Killarney. Stories of people skiing on the Reeks, Bobsleighs, Ice Climbing and our excitement Ice Skating on the Lake. It was 5 inched thick and only 3 foot deep and very safe and well supervised by myself. I had a Life float on a rope and a Sledge hammer to break any Ice if required. That said the fun had by all was something else. We think the last time anyone was ice Skating on the Lake was back in the 1960's.

Over 20 of us were skating for over 2.5 hours, where did we get the Skates ? from Killarney on Ice of Course and thanks to Timmy for the Skates.

Red Deer Rut 2008
It is that time of the year again when Ireland’s Native Red Deer start Rutting on the shores of Lough Lein and the Lakes of Killarney. At the Lake Hotel we are in the middle of it all, You can hear the Ghost like noises of the Stags roaring from your balcony and the grounds of the hotel. We see the Native red deer on a daily basis somewhere on our grounds. Bring your camera / binoculars or just enjoy observing these Mammals. Take note the only natural predator of the red deer in Killarney is the Lake Hotel Chef !!!! Just kidding !!!

We hope you enjoy the experience of this wild nature at our hotel.

August 2008 White Tailed Sea Eagles

This year we saw the second year and the re-introduction of 22 White Tailed Eagles

On many occasions we have seen the Eagles fly through our lake view panorama at the lake hotel, once even taking a fish out of the lake right in front of our Devil's Punchbowl Bar. It was the first recorded sighting of the Eagles fishing for themselves as they had been fed fish left out for them by Dr. Allan Mee who leads the re-introduction programme for the previous months. We are hopefully some will stay around the hotel right now and we look forward to the day the start to nest. It will be in the Killarney area because it was their point of release, can you imagine with our view of Lakes, Mountains, a castle, Native Red Deer and now the Eagles !!
