Description
Resident and passage waders, especially at Haven and at Longhoughton Steel, 1.5 km north. Large zlata prosenka flocks in winter, with records of ameriška prosenka and sibirska prosenka. Passage mali škurh and srpokljuni prodnik. Winter morski prodnik. The tidal foreshore is unusual in that there are sheltered areas of shallow water protected from waves by reefs at almost all states of the tide, making it an important feeding location for the mala čigras that breed at the nearby Long Nanny (q.v.) and other terns.
rdečegrli slapnik and ledni slapnik, and occasionally polarni slapnik, can be seen offshore in winter, and rumenokljuni slapnik has been recorded.
Vagrant passerines on foreshore and at Seaton Point, 1.5 km south in 2020-22 included modra taščica, rumeni vrtnik and puščavski kupčar. snežni strnad regular in winter. rjavi srakoper and veliki srakoper have both occurred on passage.
