Beskrivning

brun kärrhök is present throughout the year, with many seen on passage and wintering this year.

rörsångare, cettisångare, and gräshoppsångare breed, among a wide variety of summer visitors.

sandlöpare and other roosting waders and gulls can be found on the beach, and in summer, terns including occasional rosentärna. In winter, snösparv and occasionally berglärka use the beach where the Chevington Burn runs out. Sea ducks such as ejder,sjöorre and småskrake, and also smålom, can be seen on the sea, along with sillgrissla and lunnefågel from nearby Coquet Island.

stjärtmes and a good variety of young woodland species including wintering grönsiska, brunsiska and sometimes Gråsiska.

snatterand and good numbers of other wintering and breeding wildfowl; in winter it is worth checking the Kricka flocks for vagrant Amerikansk kricka, which occur here surprisingly regularly.
