Carnsew Pool is part of the Hayle Estuary RSPB reserve. It is tidal and attracts waterbirds and waders.
Carnsew Pool should be included as part of your visit to the Hayle Estuary. It is a tidal pool that attracts Wildfowl, Divers and Waders depending on the tide (see link to the tides table below).
In winter, especially after storms, the pool can hold Divers. All six species of diver have been seen here. The most common is svartnäbbad islom, then smålom, storlom and the rarer stillahavslom and vitnäbbad islom on a couple of occasions. Smådopping are also here with sometimes up to ten birds present. You will also find both Storskarv and toppskarv using the pool. bläsand and Kricka often stray from the main estuary onto Carnsew and sea ducks like ejder, alfågel and sjöorre can occasionally be found. storskrake and småskrake are both winter visitors here. svarthuvad mås often congregate on the exposed mud at low tide and the pool can be good for Kentsk tärna, fisktärna and silvertärna during migration. Occasionally a småtärna or svarttärna will pass through.
In early Autumn Waders can be found around the edges of the pool. The tide pushes waders up into the western end and close views can often be obtained if they are not disturbed. The pool has always been famous for attracting American waders and sandsnäppa, tuvsnäppa, dvärgsnäppa and vitgumpsnäppa have all been seen here. Other waders seen regularly are storspov, småspov, kärrsnäppa, gluttsnäppa, större strandpipare, spovsnäppa, drillsnäppa, kustpipare and strandskata.
gråhäger and Silkeshäger can be seen around the shoreline and kungsfiskare is a regular sight here from late Autumn through the winter. The surrounding trees and bushes hold smaller birds like grönfink, hämpling, steglits and occasionally kungsfågel. The path towards the beach sometimes has stenskvätta on migration.
Carnsew Pool is located at the eastern end of the Hayle Estuary. You can either park at Asda superstore (for 2 hours, please see the signs for time allowed to park) or at Ryans Field RSPB. Click on the P in the map for directions to the Asda carpark. There is a circular route around the pool (1,5 mile, 2,5 km). The path also gives good views of the bottom half of the Hayle Estuary and out to the estuary mouth. The footpath is used by dog walkers, watch where you are treading! Not all are responsible!
