Descrizione
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 Beccaccino in Winter. The feeders at the car park (only open 0900-1600hrs) have regular visits by Cinciarella, Cinciallegra, Picchio muratore, Fringuello, Picchio rosso maggiore and Ghiandaia. In Spring/Summer Luì grosso, Luì piccolo, Capinera and Beccafico can be found nearby. The speciality of the reserve is Cincia bigia, being increasingly rare over most of it's range they are doing really well at this site, as a comparison Cincia alpestre can also be found here. Cincia mora, Rampichino alpestre, Verdone and Allocco are also regularly seen.
During Winter the ever difficult to find Beccaccia are around, usually more crepuscular in habit along woodland edges, an evening visit may be needed for this species though. Over open fields Poiana, Gheppio and Nibbio reale, are possible, along woodland edges Sparviere can be seen hunting the many small birds. In Spring the open areas may produce Culbianco, Merlo dal collare and even Chiurlo maggiore may briefly drop in. In Winter the open areas usually have Tordo sassello and Cesena and occasionally Piviere dorato and Pavoncella have been seen.
