Site Details
An excellent all-round underwatched site with a good variety of habitat. The area runs from the Leisure Centre TA315080 south for one mile to Buck Beck outfall TA326068. A strip of buckthorn runs the length flanked by saltmarsh, mudflat and an outer sandbank known as the Roost Ridge; this is quite spectacular on the bigger tides with thousands of Knot, Golden and Grey Plover, Bar-tailed Godwit, Sanderling, Dunlin etc. swelled by numbers from Spurn Bight and other feeding areas around the estuary. With all this food available Peregrine has become almost routine in winter with Merlin usually present. To the rear lies the boating lake; Phalaropes, Bewick's Swan and Red-breasted Merganser are among the birds recorded here.
The pumping station TA322072, surrounded by mature trees and bushes can be productive in favourable conditions in spring and autumn; Yellow-browed Warbler, Firecrest and Red-breasted Flycatcher have been seen here. Behind the free car park at Buck Beck outfall lies the area known as the old tip, again with trees/bushes; Red-backed and Great Grey Shrikes have been recorded here. At the back runs Buck Beck, a pleasant walk in itself (Black-bellied Dipper 1967).
