Beschreibung
An extensive area of self-sown scrubland holds good numbers of warblers in summer, mainly Fitis and Zilpzalp, but also Klappergrasmücke and Mönchsgrasmücke. More mature trees provide habitat for Waldkauz. Kleiber and Halsbandsittich have become common in recent years. The Wallsend Burn holds regular Eisvogel and Gebirgsstelze, and occasional Wasseramsel in winter. In its lower tidal section Rotschenkel is regular, and the semi-tame Stockentes can attract other ducks, including Brandgans, Krickente, and more rarely Spießente and Mandarinente. 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; Eistaucher, Trottellumme and Tordalk have all been seen here on occasion, and in summer there is a constant procession of Dreizehenmöwes moving to and from their nesting sites further upsteam.

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.
