Description
Prestwick Carr is a large, low-lying wetland area on the edge of urban Newcastle, attracting various wading birds and songbirds such as Pipit farlouse and Alouette des champs, but also wintering raptors, thrushes (including large flocks of Grive mauvis and Grive litorne), woodland birds and Hibou des marais. Pie-grièche grise has wintered on several occasions, and Pie-grièche à tête rousse has also been recorded. In the 2019-2020 winter, an Bergeronnette de Béringie was a remarkable record, with presumably the same bird returning in the 2020-2021 winter.
Historically, it is of note as the first location in Britain where Chevalier sylvain was recorded breeding; a nest was found in 1853, but drainage in 1857 made the site unsuitable for further breeding.

Accès
Best approached from Prestwick Road, running east-west between Dinnington to the roundabout on the A696, immediately north of Newcastle Airport. There is a lane leading north from Prestwick Road, at east end of Prestwick hamlet, suitable for cars but very limited parking at its junction with an east-west lane that is a cycle and walking path east of the junction and farm access to the west. The 47A bus calls hourly at Prestwick hamlet, and the Metro (light rail) station at Newcastle Airport is 25 minutes walk.
