Descripción

A sheltered cove with shrubby cover offering migrating birds a safe place when caught by bad weather while flying over the North Sea, Tynemouth Haven has an impressive list of rarities, including Ruiseñor Pechiazul, Collalba Pía, Mosquitero de Schwarz, Mosquitero sombrío, Mosquitero Verdoso, Carricero Tordal, and many more. The cliffs on the adjacent Priory hold a substantial colony of Gaviota Tridáctila and a smaller number of Fulmar Boreal, and have one or two wintering Colirrojo Tizón in most years. The mostly stony beaches are good for Vuelvepiedras Común and Correlimos Oscuro, as well as resident breeding Bisbita Costero and an occasional Barnacla Carinegra in autumn. In late summer, a large post-breeding tern roost gathers to feed where the River Tyne flows into the sea; it often includes a number of Charrán Rosados, and also attracts Págalo Parásitos which chase the terns to make them drop their food. The large flocks of gulls (mostly Gaviota argéntea europea) gathering here are also worth checking, with regular Gavión Hiperbóreo and Gaviota Groenlandesa in the winter.

Accesso

Very easily accessible by public transport (bus 306 from Newcastle; also Tynemouth Metro rail station just 10 minutes walk away) as well as cycle or car. The hilly nature of the site makes wheelchair use difficult, though not impossible; it is easy for battery-powered wheelchairs, as the paving is good quality.

The site can also be seen from arriving and departing DFDS ferries on the Newcastle – Amsterdam route, with the seabirds at least viewable from the ferry.
