	Fairburn Ings
		Fairburn Ings is a village in the county of West Yorkshire, England, near Castleford.
		The word "ing" is of Old Norse origin and means "damp or marshy land", a reference to the village being flooded regularly by the River Aire.
		The flooding has produced huge expanses of water which have provided perfect conditions for RSPB Fairburn Ings, a nature reserve managed by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), established in 1968.

		Both of these birds were ‘red listed’ as being of high conservation concern in the Population Status of Birds in the UK survey published in 2002.
		But, despite their scarcity, the willow tit and tree sparrow are part of the wide diversity of wildlife which can be found at Fairburn Ings throughout the year.

		Fairburn Ings lies next to the River Aire, near Castleford.
		The pools on the reserve were caused by mining subsidence, and a third of the reserve is made up of landscaped colliery spoil, which is now returning to nature.
		Having only just returned to birding AND Yorkshire after far too long an absence, Fairburn is currently at the top of my list of places to explore and spend a nice long Sunday soon, so it's very encouraging to hear all about it.

	Wildfowl at Fairburn Ings
		In October much of the floodplain of the River Aire became one huge sheet of water, swamping the road to Allerton Bywater, which follows the course of a Roman road.
		Although the floods have now subsided the flashes and lagoons to the west of the RSPB Fairburn Ings reserve remain more extensive than they'd normally be.
		We take a muddy lane, marked as Arrow Lane on the OS map, alongside Lin Dike, to one of the outlying hides, where I make the sketch (left).
