Descrição
Grindon Lough is the smallest and shallowest of four natural loughs located in the Hadrian’s Wall area. The Lough can be viewed from the road and is a good site for waterfowl especially in winter. A number of geese can regularly be viewed including Ganso do Canadá, Ganso-comum, Ganso-de-bico-curto, and (sadly, now rarely) Greenland Ganso-grande-de-testa-branca. Cisne-bravo also use the lake, as do a range of dabbling ducks, primarily Marrequinha-comum, Pato-trombeteiro, Piadeira and Pato-real, and a few diving ducks, mainly Zarro-negrinha and Pato-olho-d'ouro. Wading species include breeding Pilrito-comum, Narceja-comum, and Perna-vermelha-comum; wintering Tarambola-dourada, and passage Maçarico-de-bico-direito are commonly observed. Other key species to watch out for include Tartaranhão-azulado, Águia-d'asa-redonda, peneireiro-de-dorso-malhado / peneireiro, Corvo and Laverca.
Recent rarities have included Falaropo-de-bico-fino (a single summering bird annually since 2015), Piadeira-americana (a single drake present most of the time since late 2015), though sadly neither have returned in 2023; and longer ago, an inland Pato-de-cauda-afilada.
Muckle Moss National Nature Reserve, an area of Birch bog woodland along the road just to the southwest, holds good numbers of pintarroxo-pequeno and Lugre all year, occasional Pintarroxo-de-queixo-preto in winter, and in summer, Cuco-canoro, Petinha-das-árvores and Felosa-musical.
Detalhes
Acesso
The reserve is situated just north of the Stanegate (an old Roman Road which linked Corbridge with Carlisle), and lies between limestone ridges. Parking is available along the Stanegate Roman Road, west of Newbrough (OL43 NY806676) which allows good views over the Lough. Click on the P in the map to get directions. There is no dedicated parking. Visitors can park along the Stanegate Roman Road. The road is narrow in places, so visitors are recommended to take care when parking to ensure passing cars (including large farm vehicles!) can pass safely. There is no access onto the site.
