Description
St Gothian Sands was declared a Local Nature Reserve in 2005. Prior to this it was a derelict sand works located to the west of Godrevy Head. In 2005 the main pools and conservation areas were created and have now become a haven for resident and migrating birds. The headlands at Godrevy are excellent for watching visible migration with pipits, finches, wheatears and swallows passing through in good numbers on the right day, Among the regular birds you can see are Кулик-сорока, Большой кроншнеп, Камнешарка, Морская чайка, Малая поганка, Хохлатая чернеть and Пеганка. Among the rarities that have been seen are Полярная чайка, Бургомистр, Странствующий дрозд and Красноголовый сорокопут.
