Beschreibung
Within a few months of being created, this site has already shown its value for migrating waders, attracting 18 species of waders including a Temminckstrandläufer, Bruchwasserläufer, up to five Zwergstrandläufer and 37 Kampfläufer in autumn 2023, and a Dunkler Wasserläufer in spring 2024. Time will tell what else it might attract!
As yet, there are no facilities (other than those at the nearby 'Northumberlandia' landscape art installation), but this is likely to change in the future.
Details
Zugang
Part of the area can be watched from Blagdon Lane just to the south of the site; note that though this road is unclassified (not an 'A' or 'B' road), it carries a lot of heavy, fast-moving commercial traffic, so take extreme care with parking. New paths are also being constructed round the site, with access from the 'Northumberlandia' car park, but may be wet and muddy.
