Beschrijving
Coatham Marsh is a 134 acre (54 hectare) nature reserve bordered by Redcar on two sides, a Steel works and the Sea on another, but its wetlands attract a diverse and important number of birds. The reserve includes two large lakes, Round Lake and Long Lake and Middle and West Marsh which are low lying areas prone to flooding but also useful areas of exposed mud for waders to feed. It's a quiet peaceful place, with plenty of species and birds like:
Roerdomp, Krakeend, Wilde Eend, Slobeend, Watersnip, Sperwer, Rietgors, Baardman.
During the winter months, important numbers of ducks and waders fly in to Coatham Marsh to feed and rest. And with its proximity to the coast, it sometimes receives rarer visitors such as Griel, Kleine Zilverreiger, Lepelaar and Mandarijneend.
