Birdwatching devotees can now celebrate as bird conservation charities pinpoint prime sites in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire to experience the breathtaking spring migration. There’s been an upswing in migratory activity, according to the RSPB, with breeds such as swifts and cuckoos coming to mate. Significant locations encompass Flamborough, where a scarce bee-eater was recently identified, in addition to Frampton Marsh near Boston. Coinciding with World Migratory Bird Day on 10 May, this season offers an unparalleled occasion to observe thousands of species. RSPB volunteer Gill Reid stated that certain birds, diverted by winds during their journey through Europe, wind up in our area. North East Lincolnshire Council is encouraging visitors to respect wildlife, advising them to adhere to designated paths and manage their pets responsibly. Noteworthy birdwatching areas are Bempton Cliffs in Bridlington, a sanctuary for swallows and swifts, and Blacktoft Sands, renowned for reed warblers and cuckoos. Spurn National Nature Reserve and North Cave Wetlands also attract a variety of species, including firecrests and redstarts. As these worldwide wayfarers pause their journey, the region transforms into a dynamic mosaic of bird life.
