Descripción
Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental is present throughout the year, with many seen on passage and wintering this year.
Carricero Común, Cetia Ruiseñor, and Buscarla Pintoja breed, among a wide variety of summer visitors.
Correlimos Tridáctilo and other roosting waders and gulls can be found on the beach, and in summer, terns including occasional Charrán Rosado. In winter, Escribano Nival and occasionally Alondra Cornuda use the beach where the Chevington Burn runs out. Sea ducks such as Éider común,Negrón común and Serreta Mediana, and also Colimbo Chico, can be seen on the sea, along with Arao Común and Frailecillo Atlántico from nearby Coquet Island.
Mito Común and a good variety of young woodland species including wintering Jilguero Lúgano, Pardillo Alpino and sometimes Pardillo Norteño.
Ánade friso and good numbers of other wintering and breeding wildfowl; in winter it is worth checking the Cerceta Común flocks for vagrant Green-winged Teal, which occur here surprisingly regularly.
