Descripción
Whitburn Coastal Park is a migration hotspot in Spring and even more in Autumn, when countless rarities have been seen here. It is also an excellent seawatching point. A great for bird watching, and often a chance to see Cormorán Moñudo, Éider común, Gaviota Tridáctila, Fulmar Boreal, Gaviota argéntea europea and other seabirds. Marsden Rock has a Cormorán Grande colony that is easy to watch; Alca Común also nest here, but mostly on the seaward side of the rock so not so easily seen. Correlimos Oscuro, Ostrero Euroasiático and Vuelvepiedras Común are regular in winter along with many other waders. Seawatching in autumn produces Ánsar piquicorto, Barnacla Carinegra, Barnacla Cariblanca, Cisne Cantor, and in winter, divers, grebes, Negrón común, etc. Escribano Nival are regular in winter along the path and particularly at 'Jackies Beach'; also look for wintering Escribano Lapón on the wider grassy area toward the north end of the site. 'Jackies Beach' has also breeding Chorlitejo Grande in summer. Halcón Peregrino and Esmerejón are also regular. The large coastal field at the south end of the site often holds a flock of roosting waders; mainly Zarapito Real and Chorlito Dorado Europeo, but check for rarer species like Chorlito Dorado Americano and Correlimos Canelo, which have occurred here. Depending on season the coastal park will always offer a good day's birding. You can combine the birding with walking the coastal trail around the Souter Lighthouse, Whitburn Coastal Park and Lizard Point on the South Shields coast (for the 8 km route, see the map below).
