Beschrijving
Famous for its globally unique inland urban Drieteenmeeuw colony, the Tyne also has other surprises, including breeding Bergeend and good numbers of wintering Wintertaling, Tureluur and Wulp. Because the birds are used to seeing lots of people, they can often be seen more closely than birds in rural areas. For the mammal enthusiast, Grey Seal, Common Seal, and Otter can all be seen - not the usual mammal list for the heart of a major city!
Details
Toegang
A site ideally suited to walking and cycling, with excellent public transport links. If arriving by train, the Drieteenmeeuws are only ten minutes walk from Newcastle Central Station (and can even be seen from the trains crossing the bridges on their way into the station!). For a longer route (ideal by bike), head west from Newcastle on the north (Northumberland) bank, cross the river over the Scotswood Bridge, and then return on the south (County Durham) bank and cross back into Newcastle by the Swing Bridge or the Millennium Bridge.
