Beschrijving
This peacefull walk along a little used route along the east bank of the River Nene where it enters the Wash is a good place to see Graspieper, Rietgors and Roodborsttapuit alongside the path. Waders such as Watersnip and Tureluur are possible down in the drainage ditches, and raptors can be seen hunting over the adjacent fields and salt marsh e.g. Sperwer, Rode Wouw ,Buizerd, Torenvalk and Bruine Kiekendief.
The lighthouses flanking the River Nene are surely an interesting landmark in their own right, however the recently restored East Bank Lighthouse, previously owned by Sir Peter Scott, may add a little extra interest for birders. Sir Peter Scott is an important figure in British ornithology and wildlife conservation and he is the founder of the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust.

Toegang
Sir Peter Scott Lighthouse is located north of the village of Sutton Bridge, in Lincolnshire. It sits on the east bank of the River Nene, right at the point where the river flows into The Wash estuary. A reasonably large car park is available at the lighthouse, which is free to use.
