Essex  >  United Kingdom

Coastal headland with a high cliff over looking the North Sea. It's about 3 miles long with grassland, scrubland great for sheltering migrants.

Descripción

Once you arrive in the car park, head North along the edge of the cliff. This gives a good elevated view of the sea and mud shoreline. Where you can see Zarapito Real, Correlimos Tridáctilo, Vuelvepiedras Común, Archibebe Común, Chorlito Gris, Correlimos Común and Barnacla Carinegra. Depending on tide line and time of year. Winter to early Spring is best for Barnacla Carinegra. Looking out to sea early morning is always good for passing sea ducks and ocean species such as Alcatraz Atlántico, Negrón común, Cormorán Grande, Colimbo Chico, Serreta Mediana even the odd Negrón especulado. If really lucky Éider común have been recorded from the Naze.

Now while sea watching from the cliff you are surrounded by a large grassland field of mixed heights of cut. This area can be good for seeing Alondra Común, Bisbita Pratense, Lavandera pía and Pardillo Común. Still walking North you now enter the scrubby area. Here in the Spring and Autumn is always worth a second look and a sharp ear open for something special. Reyezuelo Listado, Mosquitero Bilistado and even Mosquitero de Pallas. Keep searching because Colirrojo Real, Papamoscas Papirrojo and Papamoscas Cerrojillo are all on the cards here at The Naze. The Naze can boast of some really rare passage migrants and this hand full of scrubland acers can be a real hot spot.

Once you have done the scrub area now carry on up on to the sea wall foot path where looking towards the sea there is sandy beach and a mud flat mix at low tide. Here lots of diffrent feeding waders can be seen. Chorlitejo Grande and both Aguja Colipinta and Aguja Colinegra. Possible Escribano Nival and Bisbita Costero are often seen along the sand and shingle beach. Walking futher alone the sea wall. Now facing inland, is the small 'John Weston' nature reserve. Take the track South off the sea wall through the gate into the Reserve. Most of the reserve can be viewed from the sea wall, but the bushes around the green storage container worrent closer inspection.

Once back on the Sea wall about 100m North West so you have salt marsh to the North East and grazing meadows and reedbeds to the south West. This is a great spot for seeing Esmerejón and Búho Campestre, in fact many raptors species such as Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental and wintering Aguilucho pálido, plus hunting Halcón Peregrino are all regularly seen here in this open ground. Bigotudo, Cetia Ruiseñor and Escribano Palustre in the reed beds and pools, plus Silbón Europeo, Ánade friso, Porrón Moñudo and Cerceta Común. On the meadows Avefría Europea, Chorlito Dorado Europeo, Tarro Blanco, Garceta Común, Garceta Grande. This site has great potential for migrating species and a highly prized are for rarities turning up here.
