Description
An extensive area of self-sown scrubland holds good numbers of warblers in summer, mainly fitiszfüzike and Csilpcsalpfüzike, but also kis poszáta and Barátposzáta. More mature trees provide habitat for Macskabagoly. Csuszka and örvös papagáj have become common in recent years. The Wallsend Burn holds regular Jégmadár and hegyi billegető, and occasional Vízirigó in winter. In its lower tidal section Piroslábú cankó is regular, and the semi-tame Tőkés réces can attract other ducks, including Bütykös ásólúd, Csörgo réce, and more rarely Nyílfarkú réce and Mandarinréce. 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; Jeges búvár, lumma and Alka have all been seen here on occasion, and in summer there is a constant procession of csüllős moving to and from their nesting sites further upsteam.

Access
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.
