Beschrijving
The River Blyth estuary has intertidal mudflats and the river itself attracts waders and wildfowl, especially during migration. Among the birds you can encounter are Bergeend, Eider, Scholekster, Kievit, Bontbekplevier, Kanoet, Bonte Strandloper, Krombekstrandloper, Kleine Strandloper, Wulp, Regenwulp, Oeverloper and Rosse Grutto. In recent years, there has been a noticeable spring pre-breeding gathering of Kluut in March and April. Recent rarities include a Roodkeelstrandloper from 5-7 June 2021. At the east end of the site, the old Bates Colliery works have been reclaimed, and offer some small freshwater pools and shrub habitat that are attracting a range of warblers and finches.

Some roadside parking also on Chain Ferry Road, the next road to the east. Bus services 1, 2 and X8 pass nearby.
