Thanks. As long as people looking for local Hull patches know to look in East Riding, then that will work.

Thanks for the clarification.

Woooohoooo, my home county! West Yorkshire, I would agree that Fairburn Ings is pretty much the best place to go for some of the best birding you can get round here.

For South Yorkshire Potteric Carr just off the M18 near Doncaster is a great birding site. Go to Potteric Carr Nature Reserve: Home Page for more info.

I agree with that ijwilki, the site seems to be down at the moment though...
