Descripción
Dunston Staiths is a historic structure, first opened in 1893, that was used for loading coal from the North Durham Coalfield onto ships. Today it is a nice quiet spot along the River Tyne where to get away from urban life to enjoy the wildlife. You can observe gulls, waders (particularly Avefría Europea and Archibebe Común), ducks (including Tarro Blanco, Cerceta Común and Serreta Grande) and Cormorán Grande.

SíInformación extra
The mudflats inside the staith are the last of the Tyne mudflats to be covered by the rising tide, so many waders concentrate here before going to their high tide roost, between about 2 hours before high tide until an hour and a half before high tide. See the tide tables at the link below.
