Description
An extensive area of self-sown scrubland holds good numbers of warblers in summer, mainly Pouillot fitis and Pouillot véloce, but also Fauvette babillarde and Fauvette à tête noire. More mature trees provide habitat for Chouette hulotte. Sittelle torchepot and Perruche à collier have become common in recent years. The Wallsend Burn holds regular Martin-pêcheur d'Europe and Bergeronnette des ruisseaux, and occasional Cincle plongeur in winter. In its lower tidal section Chevalier gambette is regular, and the semi-tame Canard colverts can attract other ducks, including Tadorne de Belon, Sarcelle d'hiver, and more rarely Canard pilet and Canard mandarin. There is limited viewing of the River Tyne where the stream runs into the Tyne, but is still worth checking for inland seabirds on the main river; Plongeon imbrin, Guillemot de Troïl and Pingouin torda have all been seen here on occasion, and in summer there is a constant procession of Mouette tridactyles moving to and from their nesting sites further upsteam.

Much of the area is covered by a good network of well-surfaced paths (suitable for cycles and wheelchairs), but some areas are muddy in winter or after heavy rain. Click on a P in the map for directions.
