Among the birds you can observe are Eider, Noordse Stormvogel, Drieteenmeeuw, Oeverpieper, Alk, Kuifaalscholver, Scholekster, Steenloper and Wulp.

Toegang
Bus services X18 from Newcastle to Berwick and 418 from Alnwick to Belford both call at Craster. Car parking available at the entrance to the village (pay & display). Note the car park can be busy and is often full in summer. Access to Dunstanburgh Castle is by foot or cycle only; the castle is built on a clifftop offering close views of Noordse Stormvogel, Drieteenmeeuw, and Alk. Seawatching from the castle for other seabirds can be worthwhile. In spring and autumn, look for passage migrants like Tapuit and Beflijster on the walk up to the castle.
The old quarry behind the car park is now a wooded bird reserve, the Arnold Memorial Reserve, with a variety of species including locally scarce Matkop. The small harbour usually has Steenloper and Paarse Strandloper in autumn and winter. The circular route indicated on the map is about 6 km.
