Fishing village on the Coquet estuary, with sand and mud flats, river and open vistas. Boat trips around offshore Coquet Island (important for breeding terns).
Amble and the Coquet Estuary has sand and mud flats that attract resident, passage and wintering waders, gulls, and wildfowl. Passage migrants, including passerines, are regular. Coquet Island is the main UK breeding site for Charrán Rosado, and also supports breeding Charrán Patinegro, Charrán ártico, Éider común, and Frailecillo Atlántico. There are several car parks in Amble village (the fish quay is a good starting point) and lay-bys on the A1068 as it follows the River Coquet between Amble and Warkworth.
Cisne Cantor are often in the fields around the River Coquet, while the upper tidal part of the river has regular Garceta Común and wintering Serreta Grande, Serreta Mediana, and Porrón Osculado. The mudflats have good numbers of waders, including Correlimos Gordo, Correlimos Común, Correlimos Zarapitín, Zarapito Trinador, and Archibebe Común. A colour-ringed Gaviota del Caspio, with yellow 'PKCS' ring, has been present in late summer for several years. Offshore, between the river mouth and Coquet Island, Negrón común, Colimbo Chico, and Colimbo Grande can be present. Rarer visitors have included Mérgulo Atlántico, Ruiseñor Pechiazul, Vencejo Pálido and Alondra Cornuda (in dunes to north).
Two car parks central in Amble, another off A1068 near the yacht club. Click on a P in the map for directions. Amble is in the England Coastal Footpath and N1 Cycle route. Bus services X18 and X20 operate between Newcastle and Alnwick, both passing through Amble and calling at Alnmouth rail station (8km north).
Coquet Island is operated as a bird reserve by the RSPB and landing is prohibited. Boat trips around the island operate from Amble harbour and are recommended during the breeding season. See the link below.
Note that the harbour breakwater paths are dangerous during east winds, with large waves breaking over them; do not attempt to walk on these in rough weather!
