What a great day! I was invited to the reserve as an MEP candidate. I took my Mum along as she is keen on birds, and to try out the disabled access. On both counts the reserve did us proud…..Amongst other species, we saw a marsh harrier, nesting avocets AND a very busy water vole at close quarters! A wheelchair was produced when my Mum couldn't make it in the strong wind to the further hide, and we had a long and fascinating talk with Pete, the RSPB Humber Reserves Sites Manager.
On the way home through Goole, we stopped for lunch at the Waterways Museum – another excellent place to visit. It's all about life on the waterways, has an art gallery on an old barge – and they grow their own veg for the café! Both highly recommended for a family day out.
European cooperation is needed to support fantastic projects like these in the face of industrialised farming, austerity and globalisation.
