A Ring-necked Duck was found at Hauxley Nature Reserve last week and was popular with birders on the 25th-26th March. The site is currently closed for major development work, however was open last weekend to show members/visitors how the project is developing etc..
The bird was present initially at Hauxley on the Saturday, but later flew to East Chevington. The Ring-necked Duck was back again at Hauxley on the Sunday however and was showing very well from the ‘Wader Hide’.
Hauxley remains closed again from Monday 27th March. Please visit the Northumberland Wildlife Trust website to view any further open days.
It is always worth checking East Chevington just in case, it decides to go for a wander again to explore the magnificent nature reserves of Druridge Bay.
