Beschrijving
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 Watersnip in Winter. The feeders at the car park (only open 0900-1600hrs) have regular visits by Pimpelmees, Koolmees, Boomklever, Vink, Grote Bonte Specht and Gaai. In Spring/Summer Fitis, Tjiftjaf, Zwartkop and Tuinfluiter can be found nearby. The speciality of the reserve is Glanskop, being increasingly rare over most of it's range they are doing really well at this site, as a comparison Matkop can also be found here. Zwarte Mees, Taigaboomkruiper, Groenling and Bosuil are also regularly seen.
During Winter the ever difficult to find Houtsnip are around, usually more crepuscular in habit along woodland edges, an evening visit may be needed for this species though. Over open fields Buizerd, Torenvalk and Rode Wouw, are possible, along woodland edges Sperwer can be seen hunting the many small birds. In Spring the open areas may produce Tapuit, Beflijster and even Wulp may briefly drop in. In Winter the open areas usually have Koperwiek and Kramsvogel and occasionally Goudplevier and Kievit have been seen.
