Beskrivning
The River Blyth estuary has intertidal mudflats and the river itself attracts waders and wildfowl, especially during migration. Among the birds you can encounter are gravand, ejder, strandskata, tofsvipa, större strandpipare, kustsnäppa, kärrsnäppa, spovsnäppa, småsnäppa, storspov, småspov, drillsnäppa and myrspov. In recent years, there has been a noticeable spring pre-breeding gathering of skärfläcka in March and April. Recent rarities include a rödhalsad snäppa from 5-7 June 2021. At the east end of the site, the old Bates Colliery works have been reclaimed, and offer some small freshwater pools and shrub habitat that are attracting a range of warblers and finches.
