Descrição
Far Ings National Nature Reserve is a legacy of the brick and tile industry. A chain of flooded clay pits and extensive reed beds along the Humber bank from west of Barton-upon-Humber to New Holland. The site comprise the open water of Ness Lake, large areas of reed bed, grassland, hedgerow and scrub. The Visitor Centre has wonderful panoramic views across the reserve and the estuary, along with a gift shop and refreshments.
In spring and autumn you can see migration in action. Pipits, finches, swallows, martins, swifts, larks, starlings, waders and wildfowl move along the estuary. In late summer the reedbeds are important hirundine roosts. Autumn and winter reward the observer on the Humber bank with sightings of Perna-vermelha-comum, Piadeira, Maçarico-de-bico-direito, skeins of Ganso-de-bico-curto and many more species. Among the wildfowl which spend the winter months on the pits within the reserve, look for the diminutive Marrequinha-comum.
There are Abetouro-comum on the reserve all year and they are seen in various locations across the reserve. It is possible to hear them ‘booming’ in the spring from about March. A good location to try is the double decker hide at Ness End Farm. Abetouro-comum is seen from here on a regular but infrequent basis – they are very shy birds and good at hiding.
