Description
An extensive area of self-sown scrubland holds good numbers of warblers in summer, mainly Вівчарик весняний and Вівчарик-ковалик, but also Кропив’янка прудка and Кропив’янка чорноголова. More mature trees provide habitat for Сіра сова. Повзик звичайний and Папуга Крамера have become common in recent years. The Wallsend Burn holds regular Рибалочка блакитний and Плиска гірська, and occasional Пронурок біловолий in winter. In its lower tidal section Коловодник звичайний is regular, and the semi-tame Криженьs can attract other ducks, including Галагаз євразійський, Чирянка мала, and more rarely Шилохвіст and Мандаринка. There is limited viewing of the River Tyne where the stream runs into the Tyne, but is still worth checking for inland seabirds on the main river; Гагара полярна, Кайра тонкодзьоба and Гагарка мала have all been seen here on occasion, and in summer there is a constant procession of Мартин трипалийs moving to and from their nesting sites further upsteam.

Access
Much of the area is covered by a good network of well-surfaced paths (suitable for cycles and wheelchairs), but some areas are muddy in winter or after heavy rain. Click on a P in the map for directions.
