WTWB Northeast England

Dave Britton & John Day

2nd edition (2004).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. 416 pages.
