Opis
You arrive at an open area looking out to sea and to the rocky shoreline if the tide is out. At low tide large numbers of gulls and waders can be seen roosting whilst large numbers of birds can be seen on the sea.
During the winter large numbers of Scoters can be seen. Mainly markaczka and uhla. Other species often seen are lodówka, edredon, świstun, nur rdzawoszyi, and perkoz rogaty. Rarities on the sea at this time of the year include uhla amerykańska, Stejneger's Scoter, uhla pstrodzioba, turkan, alczyk and nur czarnoszyi. On the coastline a large full roost can occur predominantly consisting of mewa pospolita, mewa srebrzysta, śmieszka and mewa siodłata with the occasional wintering mewa żółtonoga, mewa czarnogłowa and mewa polarna. Wader species often seen include biegus zmienny, krwawodziób, kulik wielki, kamusznik, ostrygojad and szlamnik. Rarer gulls and waders seen on the shoreline have been mewa delawarska and biegus rdzawy.
During spring and summer months lots of new birds can be seen including rybitwa popielata, rybitwa rzeczna, rybitwa czubata and the occasional rybitwa różowa, nurzyk, alka and maskonur.
Autumn migration brings passage seabirds and waders with the chance of all four skua species, burzyk pólnocny and divers. Scarcer waders that could be seen are rycyk and kwokacz.
This site gives a nice variety of species from a single point and gives you a great chance to learn the identifications of British shorebirds.
