Description
New Lount NR is a former colliery site, the area is mainly woodland, forming a part of the National Forest. The muddy surrounds of the small pools can hold Bécassine des marais in Winter. The feeders at the car park (only open 0900-1600hrs) have regular visits by Mésange bleue, Mésange charbonnière, Sittelle torchepot, Pinson des arbres, Pic épeiche and Geai des chênes. In Spring/Summer Pouillot fitis, Pouillot véloce, Fauvette à tête noire and Fauvette des jardins can be found nearby. The speciality of the reserve is Mésange nonnette, being increasingly rare over most of it's range they are doing really well at this site, as a comparison Mésange boréale can also be found here. Mésange noire, Grimpereau des bois, Verdier d'Europe and Chouette hulotte are also regularly seen.
During Winter the ever difficult to find Bécasse des bois are around, usually more crepuscular in habit along woodland edges, an evening visit may be needed for this species though. Over open fields Buse variable, Faucon crécerelle and Milan royal, are possible, along woodland edges Épervier d'Europe can be seen hunting the many small birds. In Spring the open areas may produce Traquet motteux, Merle à plastron and even Courlis cendré may briefly drop in. In Winter the open areas usually have Grive mauvis and Grive litorne and occasionally Pluvier doré and Vanneau huppé have been seen.
