Descrizione
Amble and the Coquet Estuary has sand and mud flats that attract resident, passage and wintering waders, gulls, and wildfowl. Passage migrants, including passerines, are regular. Coquet Island is the main UK breeding site for Sterna di Dougall, and also supports breeding Beccapesci, Sterna codalunga, Edredone, and Pulcinella di mare. There are several car parks in Amble village (the fish quay is a good starting point) and lay-bys on the A1068 as it follows the River Coquet between Amble and Warkworth.
Cigno selvatico are often in the fields around the River Coquet, while the upper tidal part of the river has regular Garzetta and wintering Smergo maggiore, Smergo minore, and Quattrocchi. The mudflats have good numbers of waders, including Piovanello maggiore, Piovanello pancianera, Piovanello comune, Chiurlo piccolo, and Pettegola. A colour-ringed Gabbiano reale pontico, with yellow 'PKCS' ring, has been present in late summer for several years. Offshore, between the river mouth and Coquet Island, Orchetto marino, Strolaga minore, and Strolaga maggiore can be present. Rarer visitors have included Gazza marina minore, Pettazzurro, Rondone pallido and Allodola golagialla (in dunes to north).

Coquet Island is operated as a bird reserve by the RSPB and landing is prohibited. Boat trips around the island operate from Amble harbour and are recommended during the breeding season. See the link below.
Note that the harbour breakwater paths are dangerous during east winds, with large waves breaking over them; do not attempt to walk on these in rough weather!
