Description
Low Newton by the Sea has good mixed birding, with waders, sea-birds and wildfowl, all within an easy walk. Among the birds you can see on or from the beach are Eider à duvet, Plongeon catmarin, Pluvier argenté, Pluvier doré, Guillemot de Troïl, Sterne naine, Huîtrier pie, Tournepierre à collier, and many more.
The shrubs and trees around the 'Tin church' (a small corrugated metal chapel 100 m north of the car park; see map) are very good for attracting coastal migrants; these have included Gobemouche à collier and Viréo à oeil rouge, among many others.
The best birding is on the wader scrape between the village and the pool; this has attracted an excellent selection of waders, including rarities such as Bécasseau à échasses, Bécasseau tacheté, and Phalarope à bec étroit, as well as more regular species like Avocette élégante, Bécasseau variable, Bécasseau minute, Bécasseau cocorli, Combattant varié, Barge à queue noire, and Courlis corlieu. It also has regular Bergeronnette printanière, here close to its northern limits in Britain.
On the way to the main pool, during autumn migration after east winds, check the trees and shrubs beside the path going past Risemoor Cottage; there is a good chance of species like Pouillot à grands sourcils, Pouillot de Pallas, Pouillot verdâtre, and Gobemouche nain here.
The main pool is overlooked by two small hides; these are open at all hours. From them you can see a limited range of mostly common species, but can include Sarcelle d'été in spring, and Busard des roseaux is sometimes present. Locustelle tachetée breeds in the wet grass with scattered shrubs here too.
