Jesmond Dene

Northumberland  >  United Kingdom

A public park in a steep-sided wooded valley close to the centre of Newcastle upon Tyne, good for urban birding, though can be crowded at times.

Descrizione

Jesmond Dene is a good site for common woodland birds for anyone living in or visiting Newcastle. The Ouse Burn stream running the length of the valley, although somewhat polluted, has regular Martin pescatore and Ballerina gialla, and occasional Merlo acquaiolo, while the woods hold most of the expected woodland birds, including Colombella, Allocco, Picchio rosso maggiore, Ghiandaia, Capinera, Luì piccolo, and recently, colonising Parrocchetto dal collare. In the past, Frosone and Pigliamosche were regular and Luì verde were occasional on spring passage, but there are sadly no recent records of these declining species.

One surprising recent addition to the breeding bird list, Beccaccia di mare, now nests on flat rooftops and can be seen gathering worms for their chicks on the sports fields around the edge of Jesmond Dene - the only breeding wader in the area.

Dettagli

Accesso

Bus services 38, 306, 308, 309 from the centre of Newcastle all cross the Dene; other busses pass close by the northern and southern ends of the Dene. Multiple cycle routes are close by too; while careful cycling within the Dene is possible, it is not generally a good idea due to the steepness of many of the paths, and the number of pedestrians present. While many of the flatter paths are wheelchair accessible, the steeper valley side paths are not suitable for wheelchairs.
