Descripción
Wetland reserve with small areas of scrub. Waders, ducks and geese. In March and April, Avefría Europea can be seen performing their displays and starting to nest on the grassland. Loads of Avión Zapador and Golondrina Común return. At the end of April, Charrán Común begin to return. Saltholme is home to one of the UK's largest inland breeding colony of Charrán Común, which arrive each spring to nest on the cockleshell-covered islands in the open pools. With a lot of luck you can see a Avetoro Común skulking in the reeds, or see a Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental quartering the reed beds for a meal and a Halcón Peregrino scaring every bird on the site. In November/December large numbers of Estornino Pinto roost in the reed beds and you can see big murmurations as they drop into the reed beds at night. In winter waders and wildfowl such as Chorlito Dorado Europeo, Avefría Europea, Zarapito Real, Silbón Europeo, Cerceta Común, Cuchara Común and Ánade friso gather in their thousands, roosting and feeding across the wet grasslands and pools.

Accesso
Saltholme is 10 minutes from the A19. Turn east off the A19 north of Stockton along the A689. After 1 km (half a mile), take the A1185; then after 6 km (4 miles) join the A178 at a mini roundabout and take the 3rd exit. The reserve entrance is 250 metres on the right-hand side. The entrance fee is £5 per adult, £3.50 for students, and £2.50 for children age 5-17 years; entry is free for RSPB members. There is a good parking.
Bus also available. The nearest bus stop is outside the entrance to Saltholme, on the Seaton Carew Rd. The Number 1 stops here and is run by stagecoach in Hartlepool.
There is also a cycle track across the reserve to the visitor centre that is accessed through Port Clarence and is open during reserve opening hours.
You can also see Harbour Seals on Greatham Creek approximately 2 km (1.5 miles) north of the main site, along the A178. Up to 80 seals can be seen if the tide is right. The viewpoint is open all the time.
