RSPB Saltholme
I think Friday 5th February was the first sighting. Seen at the Wildlife Watchpoint. Lately they've been seen most often in the reed bed opposite the fire station. You have to view from the narrow grass verge on the side of the road. On a weekend the road isn't too busy and it's especially... -

It was there on Thursday 18th. Found late morning by a visitor at the Wildlife Watchpoint and identified by staff in the visitor centre from photos he took. The reserve stayed open late until 7.00pm to allow additional people the chance to get to see it - which many did. It was last seen... -

They've been there most days with 1-4 present. There was no sign of any this morning when I had a look, though they may have been located since I left. There were two seen yesterday. -

The whole area around Saltholme and the North tees Marshes is set amongst heavy industry. Much of the land is reclaimed from the sea or under lain by brinefields and salt mines. I'd be inclined to check out Teesmouth Bird Club website (link in my signature) if you haven't already as there's... -

Pretty quiet around Saltholme yesterday. Two Goldeneye on the east pond still but no sign of the Long-tailed Duck though it could have been still there. Around 40 Golden Plover were lined up along the north end of the causeway on west Saltholme. Nothing at all on the fire station field. Most... -

I didn't check for Twite yesterday and didn't see the Shorelark myself. The Twite will likely be around though they're well south of North Gare on the beach behind the dunes where it meets Seaton Channel. You can't miss the samphire they hide/feed in. -

There were around 60 present again this morning plus a Lapland Bunting and two Merlin flying in off the sea. I got there around 9.00am. You can either park at the big car park behind the golf club at the southern end of Seaton Carew and walk down the beach or park at North Gare car park and... -

When the reserve opened that's the way things were. Now the car parking is free and it's a charge for non-members. Pedestrians and cyclists used to be free, but I don't know whether that's still the case. -
RSPB Saltholme
Yep! The Scaup was still present today. Around 8.30 it was on the east pond viewd from the road. When I walked down to Saltholme Hide at 11.00am it was on Back Saltholme in amongst the Tufted Ducks to the left of the tern island mostly asleep. When I left it was still drifting with the raft of... -

It was still there Wednesday afternoon but I've not been back down there since. It was to the right of the tern island on Back Saltholme. The day previous it was feeding in front of the island. I'll be back there either tomorrow or Saturday so I'll have a look for it again. -

Glad to hear you made it there :t: I only got as far as the car park hide yesterday morning. It was pretty quiet with just a couple of Dunlins and a few Snipe though it was nice to see the juvenile Great Crested Grebe and a Little Grebe back again. The volunteer 'hide guides' are very good at... -

The Phil Stead Hide inthe car park has been pretty good for birds the last few days with a Pectoral Sandpiper, Black-tailed Godwits and Snipe. The heavy rain though has filled it up and theres no mud now for waders. Today there was next to nothing! Its a shame the sluice hasnt been opened to... -

The Black-necked Grebes were giving very close views on and off this morning. The Spotted Redshank & Yellow Wagtail photos are from yesterday. -

This thread can be used for RSPB Saltholme sightings and is perhaps the best place for them. This forum is for locations in the old Cleveland area - http://www.birdforum.net/forumdisplay.php?f=168 I think with people tending to visit more than one location when the head over this way and most... -

No sign of any Waxwings the last few days. A drake Smew was present on Back Saltholme this afternoon. First one I've seen locally since 2007. -
RSPB Saltholme
I didn't see any there yesterday either. Lots of berries still around so I wouldn't be surprised if they return. -
RSPB Saltholme
It was still there on Monday but I've not checked for it since then. Mostly it's been on Saltholme east pond, but very very occasionally it's crossed the road to the west pond. East and west Saltholme pools lie either side of the A178 Seaton Carew Road. The east pond can only be viewed from... -

Away the last fortnight so I missed the Spoonbill and LBD. Luckily i managed to see the WWBT today though. -
RSPB Saltholme
Spoonbill, Little Gull, Wood Sandpiper and Garganey all present this week. Not many waders being reported though. Hopefully nothing exceptional will arrive until the weekend when we return from holiday ;) -

It was seen again around 3.30pm to fly into the reeds behind the fire station. It's given several good views this afternoon. -

Yep! I found it 8-P ID was confirmed by some kind souls in the Bird Forum ID forum. It was at Dormans Pool at 2.00pm. Flew north to south over reed bed in front of top car park before dropping down to rest/roost in scrub on SE corner beside entrance track. Reported again at 4.25pm after I left... -

A very good day for scarce birds. A Hen Harrier passed through earlier in the morning as well. -
RSPB Saltholme
It looked well settled this afternoon on the Allotment Pool landing on the posts and feeding over the whole pool. -
RSPB Saltholme
Both were present this morning. About the only place they can be seen from is the road so the reserve doesn't have to be open.
