Descrição

Leazes Park is close to the centre of Newcastle and adjacent to the main Royal Victoria Infirmary hospital, and St James Park (Newcastle United Football Club, home of the Pega-rabudas!). This makes it a useful place to visit for anyone visiting Newcastle for business, football, and for long-stay patients in the hospital who have only limited mobility. The usual urban and suburban species can be seen, and the lake is large enough (and with an island) to attract the odd passing rarer wildfowl like Pato-de-bico-vermelho and Mergulhão-de-pescoço-castanho. A small wild area with reduced accessibility gives more timid birds like Tordo-ruivo-comum and Tentilhão-montês an opportunity to feed undisturbed. In one recent year a Estrelinha-de-cabeça-listada wintered, unusual this far north. Nearby on Richardson Road, a number of Rowan trees outside the RVI regularly attract Tagarela-europeu in invasion autumns.

Detalhes

Acesso

Most easily accessed by foot or bike. Bus services 32, 36, 47, and 84A all stop at the entrance, and the main Haymarket and Eldon Square bus stations are only 5 minutes walk away. Limited car parking (££) is available. All the paths are tarmac surfaced, and almost all are fully wheelchair accessible (a couple of steeper paths have steps, but alternative paths exist).

Informação extra

Several years ago the lake was drained for cleaning and repairs; the exposed mud attracted both Perna-verde-comum and Maçarico-das-rochas, but return visits by these species are unlikely.
