Beskrivning
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 enkelbeckasin in Winter. The feeders at the car park (only open 0900-1600hrs) have regular visits by blåmes, talgoxe, Nötväcka, bofink, större hackspett and nötskrika. In Spring/Summer lövsångare, gransångare, svarthätta and trädgårdssångare can be found nearby. The speciality of the reserve is entita, being increasingly rare over most of it's range they are doing really well at this site, as a comparison talltita can also be found here. svartmes, trädkrypare, grönfink and kattuggla are also regularly seen.
During Winter the ever difficult to find morkulla are around, usually more crepuscular in habit along woodland edges, an evening visit may be needed for this species though. Over open fields ormvråk, tornfalk and röd glada, are possible, along woodland edges sparvhök can be seen hunting the many small birds. In Spring the open areas may produce stenskvätta, ringtrast and even storspov may briefly drop in. In Winter the open areas usually have rödvingetrast and björktrast and occasionally ljungpipare and tofsvipa have been seen.
