Paull Holme Strays Nature Reserve

UK Wildlife Trusts

On a quiet spring day, the only sounds you might hear as you cross the reserve are the lonesome call of a cuckoo or the trill of a skylark - but it's a different story on the mudflats later in the year. Thousands of wading birds feed and roost here over the winter. There's a cacophony of calls - curlew, lapwing, redshank, godwits, dunlin, sanderling - and at the turn of the tide the air is filled with a cloud of thousands of golden plovers in a murmuration, moving in unison, their plumage glittering as it catches the winter sunshine.
