Description
Blacktoft Sands is located on the south bank of the River Ouse, where the waterway widens to become the Humber Estuary. Reedbed covers much of the site and it is Englands largest intertidal reedbed, home to Busard des roseaux, Panure à moustaches and Butor étoilé. Six shallow saline lagoons provide good birding throughout the year. An area of grazing marsh provides a home for wildfowl and waders through the autumn and spring and includes a large seasonally flooded area. A small area of mudflat, which is not accessible, provides a safe roosting area for large numbers of Pluvier doré and Vanneau huppé. Scrub between the hides attracts a great variety of warblers and a thriving colony of Moineau friquet.
Blacktoft is a great place to see Busard des roseaux with up to 40 roosting in the reedbed in the winter and breeding birds during the spring and summer. Winter roost often include Busard Saint-Martin, Faucon émerillon and Effraie des clochers. During the summer and autumn months many waders can be seen including Chevalier arlequin, Barge à queue noire and Combattant varié. In spring up to eight species of warbler can be heard singing. Also booming Butor étoilé in the mornings and evenings. Avocette élégante arrive back in early March start nesting in April. Spatule blanche have become a regular summer visitor.
