Beschrijving
Once you arrive in the car park, head North along the edge of the cliff. This gives a good elevated view of the sea and mud shoreline. Where you can see Wulp, Drieteenstrandloper, Steenloper, Tureluur, Zilverplevier, Bonte Strandloper and Rotgans. Depending on tide line and time of year. Winter to early Spring is best for Rotgans. Looking out to sea early morning is always good for passing sea ducks and ocean species such as Jan-van-gent, Zwarte Zee-eend, Aalscholver, Roodkeelduiker, Middelste Zaagbek even the odd Grote Zee-eend. If really lucky Eider have been recorded from the Naze.
Now while sea watching from the cliff you are surrounded by a large grassland field of mixed heights of cut. This area can be good for seeing Veldleeuwerik, Graspieper, Rouwkwikstaart and Kneu. Still walking North you now enter the scrubby area. Here in the Spring and Autumn is always worth a second look and a sharp ear open for something special. Vuurgoudhaan, Bladkoning and even Pallas' Boszanger. Keep searching because Gekraagde Roodstaart, Kleine Vliegenvanger and Bonte Vliegenvanger are all on the cards here at The Naze. The Naze can boast of some really rare passage migrants and this hand full of scrubland acers can be a real hot spot.
Once you have done the scrub area now carry on up on to the sea wall foot path where looking towards the sea there is sandy beach and a mud flat mix at low tide. Here lots of diffrent feeding waders can be seen. Bontbekplevier and both Rosse Grutto and Grutto. Possible Sneeuwgors and Oeverpieper are often seen along the sand and shingle beach. Walking futher alone the sea wall. Now facing inland, is the small 'John Weston' nature reserve. Take the track South off the sea wall through the gate into the Reserve. Most of the reserve can be viewed from the sea wall, but the bushes around the green storage container worrent closer inspection.
Once back on the Sea wall about 100m North West so you have salt marsh to the North East and grazing meadows and reedbeds to the south West. This is a great spot for seeing Smelleken and Velduil, in fact many raptors species such as Bruine Kiekendief and wintering Blauwe Kiekendief, plus hunting Slechtvalk are all regularly seen here in this open ground. Baardman, Cetti's Zanger and Rietgors in the reed beds and pools, plus Smient, Krakeend, Kuifeend and Wintertaling. On the meadows Kievit, Goudplevier, Bergeend, Kleine Zilverreiger, Grote Zilverreiger. This site has great potential for migrating species and a highly prized are for rarities turning up here.
