Descrizione
Prestwick Carr is a large, low-lying wetland area on the edge of urban Newcastle, attracting various wading birds and songbirds such as Pispola and Allodola, but also wintering raptors, thrushes (including large flocks of Tordo sassello and Cesena), woodland birds and Gufo di palude. Averla maggiore has wintered on several occasions, and Averla capirossa has also been recorded. In the 2019-2020 winter, an Cutrettola del Pacifico 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 Piro piro boschereccio was recorded breeding; a nest was found in 1853, but drainage in 1857 made the site unsuitable for further breeding.
Dettagli
Accesso
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.
