Beschrijving
Bruine Kiekendief is present throughout the year, with many seen on passage and wintering this year.
Kleine Karekiet, Cetti's Zanger, and Sprinkhaanzanger breed, among a wide variety of summer visitors.
Drieteenstrandloper and other roosting waders and gulls can be found on the beach, and in summer, terns including occasional Dougalls Stern. In winter, Sneeuwgors and occasionally Strandleeuwerik use the beach where the Chevington Burn runs out. Sea ducks such as Eider,Zwarte Zee-eend and Middelste Zaagbek, and also Roodkeelduiker, can be seen on the sea, along with Zeekoet and Papegaaiduiker from nearby Coquet Island.
Staartmees and a good variety of young woodland species including wintering Sijs, Kleine Barmsijs and sometimes Barmsijs.
Krakeend and good numbers of other wintering and breeding wildfowl; in winter it is worth checking the Wintertaling flocks for vagrant Amerikaanse wintertaling, which occur here surprisingly regularly.
