Brough Haven.
Looking west up-river towards Goole.
This area of low-tide mud along the Upper Humber Estuary is easily reached from the M62/A63 . Just head for Brough itself then at the first set of lights bear left and head for the Brough Aerospace factory. At the far end there is a nice little public carpark overlooking the estuary. From there a decent footpath heads eastwards to Welton Waters. We didn't go that far as the flood defences are being improved from where BAE finishes onwards. Besides we'll be paying a visit there shortly. Luckily we arrived with plenty of exposed mud and immediately spotted a Curlew. And thats all we did spot. There are small pockets of reed and scrub which at another time may have shown something. Still we enjoyed it very much. Its only now that I write this that it is already known that nearly a thousand jobs will be lost at Brough BAE.
Looking east towards the Humber Bridge. Curlew, Cormorant, Canada Goose.
