Opis
A former opencast coal mine, the fields are grazed in the autumn and winter to maintain the value of the habitat. A public footpath runs between the lake and fields leading to two bird hides, one facing north and one facing south, then beyond to the ruins of Chibburn Preceptory.
The deep lake to the north provides an opportunity to catch a glimpse of Otter, while wading birds feed along the shores, and gągoł and perkoz dwuczuby use the water. The two wet fields to the south support large flocks of wintering wildfowl, mostly świstun and cyraneczka, and in spring, cyranka as well as krakwa and Płaskonos; they are very good feeding sites for waders including kszyk, krwawodziób, rycyk, łęczak, and others; warzęcha has also become regular in recent years, and scan for siwerniak in winter. In autumn, check the bushes and shelterbelts after east winds for species like świstunka żółtawa and zniczek as well as numerous mysikrólik and czyż.
Numerous rarities have occurred, including biegus płaskodzioby, płatkonóg szydłodzioby, ibis kasztanowaty, kobczyk, pokrzewka wasata and others, making it a popular location for bird watchers and wildlife photographers alike.
The dunes hold świerszczak and kląskawka as well as the more abundant skowronek and świergotek łąkowy. The highest dune, roughly in the middle of the bay, gives a good vantage point for scanning the sea; here you can often see edredon, markaczka, szlachar, głuptak, nur rdzawoszyi, wydrzyk ostrosterny, nurzyk, maskonur, and also piaskowiec on the beach if there are not too many dog-walkers around. A telescope is useful for this.

There is roadside car parking at the adjacent National Trust Druridge Links site. Access is from a minor road running alongside Druridge Links and through a wide gap onto a level grass path. A further entrance gives access to a viewing area on another grass path, 400m south, alongside the same minor road. There are two viewing hides, one with level access and one accessed by four steps. There is also a viewing platform at the southern end of the reserve which is accessed by three broad steps.
There are access points leading to a screen overlooking the southern fields and along the public right of way through the centre of the site. The terrain is level and flat, but paths can be wet and muddy.
