Islands of Ireland: Avoid Roe Island in spring so you don't disturb nesting birds

The islands of Strangford Lough are also known as pladdies and resemble a stationary pod of whales

They have been described as drowned drumlins (if drowned though, they wouldn’t be islands) but the islands of Strangford Lough really resemble a stationary pod of whales. 

This lengthy lough in County Down has been subject to the same 365-island myth as Clew Bay in Mayo and Lough Corrib in Galway/ Mayo. Alas, the matching symmetry with the number of days in a year is inaccurate: there are about 90 in Strangford Lough, depending on your definition of an island.
