One of MWT’s six nature reserves which is an Area of Special Scientific Interest (ASSI). Cronk y Bing ASSI is part of the widest strip of yellow dune on the island forming the western-most extremity of the Ayres.
Cronk y Bing is excellent for birdwatching, including sea-watching, migration-watching (year round). It is home to beach-nesting birds including Ringed Plover and Oystercatcher (therefore no dogs are allowed on site). It is also home to one of the largest high tide bird roosts on the Island, used by hundreds of waders, gulls and other seabirds (at almost all stages of the tide). To date MWT staff and our volunteers have recorded over 116 different species of bird on this internationally important site.
