Description
At Weetslade Country Park the old mine spoil heap, now landscaped and grassed over, offers a good lookout point for visible migration. The area is nesting habitat for Alouette des champs and Pipit farlouse, and feeding habitat for migrating Traquet motteux on the north and west sides, and Fauvette grisette, Pouillot fitis, Bruant jaune and other scrubland birds on the Gorse- and Hawthorn-covered south and east sides. Elsewhere, the small bird feeding station attracts many birds including Mésange boréale. Two pools and their surrounding wetland hold Phragmite des joncs and Rousserolle effarvatte, and often one or two Aigrette garzette, a recent colonist this far north. In winter, Grive mauvis and Grive litorne are common on the fields at the west end of the site. Raptors include regular Buse variable, Épervier d'Europe, and Faucon crécerelle, and occasional passage Milan royal and others.

Accès
National Cycle Route 10 (Reivers Way) crosses Weetslade Country Park, and is the best way to cover it. Bus services 43 and 45 from Newcastle upon Tyne are 5 minutes walk from the west end of the site, and there is a car park at the east end (plus limited on-street parking at the west end).
Note that most of the paths become very wet throughout the winter, and after heavy rain at any time of year, as the ground is heavily compacted and with poor drainage.

Please approach the feeding station slowly, to avoid spooking birds using it! The seats for the feeding station are usually wet, so a sit-mat is useful.
