Avocets, marsh harriers, spotted redshank, whooper swan, goldeneye, black tailed godwit, grazing wigeon, beautiful great crested grebe, shoveling shovelers, dainty little teal and many more; over 40 species in 2 hours and all seen easily from the hides with a little local advice from the friendly RSPB staff. Blacktoft Sands reserve is an excellent day out for the seasoned birdwatcher and an excellent introduction to the UK's amazing diversity of bird species for the novice.

We don't know much about birds - but there were friendly RSPB volunteers who showed us what to look out for. They made us feel very welcome. I would recommend Blacktoft Sands to anybody who wants to enjoy their day out, and see interesting wildlife.

Had to seek refuge here from the wet weather on the coast. We had a very enjoyable day: the marsh harriers are brilliant and there were lots of waders to see. Couldn't find the bearded tits so we will have to come back in the winter.

Came for the harriers this afternoon. Saw some marsh harriers but I'm afraid no hen harriers. Then a barn owl appeared as it started to get dark which was brilliant. The massive flocks of golden plover were amazing. I think Blacktoft is a great place for wildlife.

I went to the 'Hair-raising Harriers' event today and had a fantastic time. The guide made us all feel really welcome and was very knowledgeable. I had four 'firsts' (whooper swan, short-eared owl, golden plover, stone chat) and excellent views of marsh harriers and barn owls. It is a wonderful reserve and I will definitely be going back.

It was an amazing experience for me and my family, I got loads of life firsts like a marsh harrier, black-tailed godwits, pink-footed geese etc. I loved the visit and I can't wait untill next time!
