Beschreibung
In Bamburgh wintering waders and sea ducks are a speciality, best seen from Stag Rocks, a low rocky promontory 1 km northwest of the village. Regular sightings include Trauerente, Samtente, Eisente, Eistaucher, and Ohrentaucher. A large flock of Meerstrandläufer is also regular there, and single vagrant Pazifiktrauerente and Bonapartemöwe have been returning visitors in late autumn and winter for the last 12 years (the Bonapartemöwe has returned for its 12th season in October 2024). Sea-watching is also excellent, for ducks, gulls and divers in particular. Another 2 km further on is the tidal Budle Bay, attracting wintering waders and wildfowl. In winter the fields surrounding Budle Bay attract wildfowl, especially Kurzschnabelgans, Weißwangengans, and Singschwan. Raptors and owls are seen regularly.
