| Several species of ground-nesting birds including lapwing, redshank and ringed plover have come under threat from hedgehogs. |
| At first glance the drained muds of the Blyth estuary were dotted with shelduck, redshank, curlew, wigeon, pintail and black headed gulls. |
| Spotted redshank share their forest-marsh nesting grounds with wood sandpipers, greenshank, whimbrel, jack snipe and broad-billed sandpipers. |
| Waders such as redshank and spoonbills, have begun to proliferate, and numbers of larks, linnets, yellowhammers and reed bunting have grown. |
| The group has also managed the wet farmland so winter visitors include snipe, redshank, water rail and common sandpiper. |
| This development attracts passage migrant waders, nesting lapwing and redshank together with winter wildfowl. |
