Killingholme Haven














 
 
 
 

A tiny haven of wildlife bang in the middle of industry and dockland on a massive scale from tens of thousands of imported cars to docks to petrol manufacturing, power stations, you name it, we have it at Killingholme. And right in the middle is this wetland. On a high tide a count of 2000 black tailed godwits can be seen infront of the hide.  With thunder, lightening, torrential rain and hail today we decided to head somewhere  with a bird hide. As there was also a high tide, Killingholme was the perfect choice. We saw our 2000 godwits, plus a few herons, egrets and redshank and kept dry !
