Description

Busard des roseaux is present throughout the year, with many seen on passage and wintering this year.

Rousserolle effarvatte, Bouscarle de Cetti, and Locustelle tachetée breed, among a wide variety of summer visitors.

Bécasseau sanderling and other roosting waders and gulls can be found on the beach, and in summer, terns including occasional Sterne de Dougall. In winter, Bruant des neiges and occasionally Alouette haussecol use the beach where the Chevington Burn runs out. Sea ducks such as Eider à duvet,Macreuse noire and Harle huppé, and also Plongeon catmarin, can be seen on the sea, along with Guillemot de Troïl and Macareux moine from nearby Coquet Island.

Mésange à longue queue and a good variety of young woodland species including wintering Tarin des aulnes, Sizerin cabaret and sometimes Sizerin flammé.

Canard chipeau and good numbers of other wintering and breeding wildfowl; in winter it is worth checking the Sarcelle d'hiver flocks for vagrant Green-winged Teal, which occur here surprisingly regularly.
