| What more welcoming a habitat for wading birds - layout of the proposed reserve |
PLANS have this week been unveiled for the new wetland birds reserve proposed for land on the outskirts of Grimsby.
The reserve - to be known as Novartis Ings - is off Moody Lane on agricultural fields totalling 17.1 hectares and adjacent to the Novartis factory.
It is hoped that the site will provide wading, roosting and possibly breeding habitat for thousands of declining wader bird species such as curlews, godwits, redshank and plovers.
Curlews like plenty of space
The scheme has been designed by expert Roger Wardle who did likewise for the Cress Marsh reserve near Stallingborough.
Assuming planning permission is granted, Novartis Ings will be managed by North East Lincolnshire Council.
It is hoped that the proposed installation of CCTV will provide at least a measure of security for the hide from the ever-present threat of vandalism.
