Beschreibung
New Lount NR is a former colliery site, the area is mainly woodland, forming a part of the National Forest. The muddy surrounds of the small pools can hold Bekassine in Winter. The feeders at the car park (only open 0900-1600hrs) have regular visits by Blaumeise, Kohlmeise, Kleiber, Buchfink, Buntspecht and Eichelhäher. In Spring/Summer Fitis, Zilpzalp, Mönchsgrasmücke and Gartengrasmücke can be found nearby. The speciality of the reserve is Sumpfmeise, being increasingly rare over most of it's range they are doing really well at this site, as a comparison Weidenmeise can also be found here. Tannenmeise, Waldbaumläufer, Grünfink and Waldkauz are also regularly seen.
During Winter the ever difficult to find Waldschnepfe are around, usually more crepuscular in habit along woodland edges, an evening visit may be needed for this species though. Over open fields Mäusebussard, Turmfalke and Rotmilan, are possible, along woodland edges Sperber can be seen hunting the many small birds. In Spring the open areas may produce Steinschmätzer, Ringdrossel and even Großer Brachvogel may briefly drop in. In Winter the open areas usually have Rotdrossel and Wacholderdrossel and occasionally Goldregenpfeifer and Kiebitz have been seen.
