Descrição
Winterton Dunes is an extensive coastal acidic heathland featuring a variety of scrubs and trees spread throughout. For birders, the site is a fantastic place to find rare and scarce migrant birds, as well as enjoy some of the spectacular wildlife of the east Norfolk coast. It can be hard work at times, but persistance pays off at this site. Throughout the year, you could find Cartaxo-comum and Escrevedeira-amarela in the dunes, alongside the usual common garden birds. Raptors frequent the fields inland of the dunes system including Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis and peneireiro-de-dorso-malhado / peneireiro.
In the winter, a sea-watch may reveal large numbers of Mobêlha-pequena as well as Pato-preto and flocks of passing Ganso-de-faces-negras. You may be lucky and encounter a Coruja-do-nabal or Tartaranhão-azulado hunting the dunes. The large Grey Seal colony here attracts gulls, and alongside the expected Gaivota-argêntea and Alcatraz-comum groups, you may be lucky and find a Gaivota-de-patas-amarelas or even Gaivota-polar or Gaivota-hiperbórea! Expect to see waders like Rola-do-mar and Pilrito-sanderlingo on the beach. The rocky groynes may hold Pilrito-escuro also. Look out for Escrevedeira-das-neves on the beach too!
Spring passage can be hit a miss in east Norfolk, but you would normally expect to see a Rabirruivo-preto and a few Chasco-cinzento to get the season going (from March onwards). Following this will be Toutinegra-de-barrette-preto, Felosa-comum, Felosa-musical, Felosa-musical and more. In April onwards, there may be Melro-de-peito-branco, Papa-moscas-preto and Rabirruivo-de-testa-branca to be found. Following a good spell of easterly winds, you may be on for something rarer. Typcial spring scarcities (typcially May and June) might include Picanço-de-dorso-ruivo, Felosa-palustre, Pisco-de-peito-azul, Felosa-icterina, Estorinho-rosado and even Abelharuco-comum!
Summer still offers migration opportunites, as the waders continue to move throughout July and August. There is a colony of Andorinha-do-mar-anã on the beach some years, but view them from a respectable distance. It is not impossible to find a Gaivina-preta or even a Andorinha-do-mar-rósea in the colony if you scan the colony carefully.
Autumn passage can be excellent here, and in the early part of the season (August to September), you might be lucky and find the likes of Torcicolo, Felosa-icterina or Felosa-troquilóide. A good passage of Papa-moscas-preto is expected, along with smaller numbers of Rabirruivo-de-testa-branca. As the autumn progresses (September to November), the opportunities to find Felosa-bilistada, Estrelinha de Pallas, Toutinegra-gavião, Papa-moscas-pequeno and other seasonal delights increases, especially after easterly winds. Common migrants will also be flooding back in like Tordo-ruivo-comum, Estrelinha-de-poupa, Tentilhão-comum and Galinhola.
Sea-watching here is best in northerly or easterly winds, and these can bring Ganso-patola, Gaivota-tridáctila and Pato-preto closer in shore. An experienced sea-watcher may be able to find divers, grebes, auks and up to four species of Skua! Stormy conditions in late autumn can bring Falaropo-de-bico-grosso, Painho-de-cauda-forcada and large numbers of Gaivota-pequena. You never know what you might see, so always worth bringing a scope.

This site is a popular dog walking area, and also experiences high numbers of beach-goers in the summer. You can get away from the crowds by heading further away from the village itself.
