RSPB Blacktoft Sands nature reserve is one of the north-east England's best
nature reserves. Nestled between the Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Wolds, it
is set on the banks of the Humber Estuary.
Ideal for all ages and abilities, it's inter-tidal reedbed is the largest in
England. In spring and summer, the air is filled with the songs of birds
such as reed and sedge warblers, while chattering avocets feed their young
and marsh harriers perform acrobatic sky dances. During autumn, migrating
wading birds can be seen resting and feeding on the lagoons. Six hides
enable you to get closer to the wildlife. Winter brings wonderful wildfowl
and breathtaking birds of prey.
