Beschrijving
In Bamburgh wintering waders and sea ducks are a speciality, best seen from Stag Rocks, a low rocky promontory 1 km northwest of the village. Regular sightings include Zwarte Zee-eend, Grote Zee-eend, IJseend, IJsduiker, and Kuifduiker. A large flock of Paarse Strandloper is also regular there, and single vagrant Amerikaanse Zee-eend and Kleine Kokmeeuw have been returning visitors in late autumn and winter for the last 12 years (the Kleine Kokmeeuw has returned for its 12th season in October 2024). Sea-watching is also excellent, for ducks, gulls and divers in particular. Another 2 km further on is the tidal Budle Bay, attracting wintering waders and wildfowl. In winter the fields surrounding Budle Bay attract wildfowl, especially Kleine Rietgans, Brandgans, and Wilde Zwaan. Raptors and owls are seen regularly.
