Product Description
Product Description
The sparsely-populated northeast of England, comprising the counties of Northumberland, Tyne & Wear and Durham, has much to offer birders. Its coastline includes some important seabird cliffs, as well as tidal estuaries which are highly attractive to wintering and migrating wildfowl and waders. The Farne Islands are famous for their spectacular tern colonies and other breeding seabirds including Eider. The entire coastline is good for seawatching and also highly attractive to migrating passerines with many rarities recorded. Inland, the rugged and spectacular scenery of Northumberland hosts a range of upland species, and there are important reservoirs and wooded areas in the region. This second edition has been extensively revised and updated, with several new sites added and some existing site accounts considerably expanded. It is the essential tool for anyone birding in this rewarding region.

when taking a guide out into the field just isn't an option, this great book certainly is. Expert knowledge from some of the area's top birders is shared for the benefit of the rest of us.
It's completely up to date after a re-vamp, including the Red Kite relaese program in Gateshead. Highlighting all the usual hot-spots around the coasts of Teeside, Durham & Northumberland - as well as the Farn Isles, Holy island etc. the lesser-known but prolific inland areas are also covered - literally covering any spot worth knowing about between Scotland, Yorkshire and Cumbria, with good maps and contact numbers etc.
There isn't a guide available for this part of the world, but if there was, it would not be as good as this one.
