Chowder Ness Wildlife Reserve

Chowder Ness was created in early 2007 when some farmland was allowed to flood as part of a scheme funded by British Associated Ports to create new habitats and also zones to mitigate coastal flooding. Chowder Ness is basically an extension of Far Ings National Nature Reserve though it is administered separately.

Far Ings can be seen to the laft of the photo.

Highlights

As a new reserve, it is too early to say. However it is very likely that mallard, teal, gadwall, pochard, tufted and ruddy ducks, and shoveler, and occasionally rarities such as smew and red-crested pochard may be seen as they are all recorded at Far Ings.

Location

Chowder Ness reserve is at the western end of Far Ings Lane a short distance to the west of the Humber Bridge. Take the first exit from the A15 south of the Humber bridge, and head west on the A1077 for about 1/3 mile. Turn right onto Gravelpit Road and left at the end onto Far Ings Lane.

The reserve can also be accessed on the riverside path along the south bank of the Humber (the path passes along Far Ings too).
