Blacktoft Sands RSPB reserve, Nature reserve near Blacktoft village, East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
Blacktoft Sands is a wetland nature reserve in East Riding of Yorkshire with reed beds, grassland, and open water habitats. The site sits along the Ouse River and supports diverse bird populations throughout the year.
The RSPB converted former farmland into protected wetland habitat to provide breeding and feeding grounds for bird species. This transformation created one of England's most important refuges for water birds and reed-nesting species.
Local volunteers participate in habitat management, wildlife surveys, and educational programs to support conservation efforts throughout the reserve.
Six hides are positioned throughout the reserve to view birds from close range without causing disturbance. Paths between observation points are flat and easy to walk, making navigation straightforward for all visitors.
The reserve contains England's largest tidal reedbed, maintained by konik horses that graze the land. These hardy animals naturally manage the habitat while feeding on the vegetation.
