Location Map for Swinemoor

Habitat
Wet pasture, with many small floods during the winter months, especially between Barmston Drain and River Hull. During the summer months most of the floods will dry out completely.

>> Species
During the winter months the floods can attract wildfowl in varying numbers. The commoner waders can also be found such as Redshank, Snipe along with Ruff during winter, In spring the floods begin to dry out and can attract passage waders such as Little Ringed Plover, Greenshank, Green Sandpiper and Wood Sandpiper. Breeding birds are mainly Lapwing and Skylark. The list is not exhaustive, regular checks will reveal many surprises, though nothing can be guaranteed.

>> Access
Entrances to the pasture are located at Hull Bridge along the west bank of the River Hull. A stile entrance can be found along Hull Bridge Road. A gate house entrance is along Swinemoor Lane. Access can also be gained through the industrial estate along Barmston Drain.
