Beschreibung
Low Newton by the Sea has good mixed birding, with waders, sea-birds and wildfowl, all within an easy walk. Among the birds you can see on or from the beach are Eiderente, Sterntaucher, Kiebitzregenpfeifer, Goldregenpfeifer, Trottellumme, Zwergseeschwalbe, Austernfischer, Steinwälzer, and many more.
The shrubs and trees around the 'Tin church' (a small corrugated metal chapel 100 m north of the car park; see map) are very good for attracting coastal migrants; these have included Halsbandschnäpper and Rotaugenvireo, among many others.
The best birding is on the wader scrape between the village and the pool; this has attracted an excellent selection of waders, including rarities such as Bindenstrandläufer, Graubrust-Strandläufer, and Odinshühnchen, as well as more regular species like Säbelschnäbler, Alpenstrandläufer, Zwergstrandläufer, Sichelstrandläufer, Kampfläufer, Uferschnepfe, and Regenbrachvogel. It also has regular Wiesenschafstelze, here close to its northern limits in Britain.
On the way to the main pool, during autumn migration after east winds, check the trees and shrubs beside the path going past Risemoor Cottage; there is a good chance of species like Gelbbrauen-Laubsänger, Goldhähnchen-Laubsänger, Grünlaubsänger, and Zwergschnäpper here.
The main pool is overlooked by two small hides; these are open at all hours. From them you can see a limited range of mostly common species, but can include Knäkente in spring, and Rohrweihe is sometimes present. Feldschwirl breeds in the wet grass with scattered shrubs here too.
