Robinson Crusoe, the eponymous protagonist of the 1719 novel, leaves England on a ship departing from the Humber to live his castaway adventure on a deserted, yet full of wildlife, island.
Laying on one side of the Humber – the second-largest coastal plain estuary in the UK – the Spurn nature reserve of the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust is an iconic wildlife guardian, with its large variety of overwintering birds as well as impressive movements of insects, including hoverflies, ladybirds, dragonflies and butterflies.
Shaped as a crooked finger, its habitat would not be so rich, were it not for the tide, carrying sediments that maintain healthy mudflats, sandflats and saltmarsh in the whole Humber area. With an average range of 5,7 meters at Spurn, the tide creates a ‘washover’ section of sand regularly detaching the peninsula fingertip.
