Descrizione
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 Falco di palude, Basettino and Tarabuso. 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 Piviere dorato and Pavoncella. Scrub between the hides attracts a great variety of warblers and a thriving colony of Passera mattugia.
Blacktoft is a great place to see Falco di palude with up to 40 roosting in the reedbed in the winter and breeding birds during the spring and summer. Winter roost often include Albanella reale, Smeriglio and Barbagianni. During the summer and autumn months many waders can be seen including Totano moro, Pittima reale and Combattente. In spring up to eight species of warbler can be heard singing. Also booming Tarabuso in the mornings and evenings. Avocetta arrive back in early March start nesting in April. Spatola have become a regular summer visitor.
