Description
In Bamburgh wintering waders and sea ducks are a speciality, best seen from Stag Rocks, a low rocky promontory 1 km northwest of the village. Regular sightings include Macreuse noire, Macreuse brune, Harelde boréale, Plongeon imbrin, and Grèbe esclavon. A large flock of Bécasseau violet is also regular there, and single vagrant Macreuse à bec jaune and Mouette de Bonaparte have been returning visitors in late autumn and winter for the last 12 years (the Mouette de Bonaparte has returned for its 12th season in October 2024). Sea-watching is also excellent, for ducks, gulls and divers in particular. Another 2 km further on is the tidal Budle Bay, attracting wintering waders and wildfowl. In winter the fields surrounding Budle Bay attract wildfowl, especially Oie à bec court, Bernache nonnette, and Cygne chanteur. Raptors and owls are seen regularly.
