Opis
Jesmond Dene is a good site for common woodland birds for anyone living in or visiting Newcastle. The Ouse Burn stream running the length of the valley, although somewhat polluted, has regular zimorodek and pliszka górska, and occasional pluszcz, while the woods hold most of the expected woodland birds, including siniak, puszczyk zwyczajny, dzięcioł duży, sójka, kapturka, pierwiosnek, and recently, colonising aleksandretta obrożna. In the past, grubodziób and muchołówka szara were regular and świstunka leśna were occasional on spring passage, but there are sadly no recent records of these declining species.
One surprising recent addition to the breeding bird list, ostrygojad, now nests on flat rooftops and can be seen gathering worms for their chicks on the sports fields around the edge of Jesmond Dene - the only breeding wader in the area.

Bus services 38, 306, 308, 309 from the centre of Newcastle all cross the Dene; other busses pass close by the northern and southern ends of the Dene. Multiple cycle routes are close by too; while careful cycling within the Dene is possible, it is not generally a good idea due to the steepness of many of the paths, and the number of pedestrians present. While many of the flatter paths are wheelchair accessible, the steeper valley side paths are not suitable for wheelchairs.
