Beschrijving
Resident and passage waders, especially at Haven and at Longhoughton Steel, 1.5 km north. Large Goudplevier flocks in winter, with records of Amerikaanse Goudplevier and Aziatische Goudplevier. Passage Regenwulp and Krombekstrandloper. Winter Paarse Strandloper. The tidal foreshore is unusual in that there are sheltered areas of shallow water protected from waves by reefs at almost all states of the tide, making it an important feeding location for the Dwergsterns that breed at the nearby Long Nanny (q.v.) and other terns.
Roodkeelduiker and IJsduiker, and occasionally Parelduiker, can be seen offshore in winter, and Geelsnavelduiker has been recorded.
Vagrant passerines on foreshore and at Seaton Point, 1.5 km south in 2020-22 included Blauwborst, Spotvogel and Woestijntapuit. Sneeuwgors regular in winter. Grauwe Klauwier and Klapekster have both occurred on passage.
