Blacktoft Sands, situated on the south side of the Humber Estuary, has the largest reed bed in the country and is the home to a number of interesting birds including Marsh Harrier, Bittern and Bearded Tit. More recently a Montague’s Harrier has bred on the reserve. At this time of year it will provide refuge for migrating birds, mainly waders. There are 6 hides and the access path is level. Toilet facilities on site. (Limited refreshments, hot & cold drinks, snacks available). The area is exposed so be prepared. Admission free for R.S.P.B members & a charge for non RSPB members.
