Beschrijving
A good suburban local patch site with a variety of waterfowl and wetland birds. Best in late summer and early autumn when exposed mud can attract a good selection of waders including Zwarte Ruiter, Groenpootruiter, Witgat, and even the occasional Porseleinhoen, but also in spring when the shrubs and reedbeds attract an assortment of warblers. A substantial Aalscholver roost builds up on the trees on the island in the middle of the pond, and Rode Wouws from the Gateshead reintroduction scheme fly over regularly.

Toegang
Several bus services connect with central Gateshead and Blaydon. Parking is available at the adjacent Blaydon Youth & Community Centre.
There is a locked hide at the southeast corner (Durham Bird Club members); if you are visiting, knock on the door and if anyone is in, they will usually let you in. Most of the paths are wheelchair-accessible, as is the hide.
