The RSPB collected data across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire between April and June this year.

A survey on the Humber Estuary has revealed the area is a hotspot for a threatened bird species.

The RSPB collected data across both East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire between April and June 2024 and revealed 420 pairs of breeding redshanks.

Any area with one-per-cent of the population of species is considered to be “highly important” for conservation and results showed the Outer Humber supports two-per-cent.
