Ripon City Wetlands is one of Yorkshire Wildlife Trust’s newest reserves, created at the side of Ripon Racecourse, where new islands have been created on both the canal and riverside lagoons.

As well as its famous starling murmurations, Ripon City Wetlands is renowned for sand martins, lapwings and little ringed plovers in the spring, and these new islands will create the perfect breeding grounds for these spring visitors.

At nearby Staveley, the existing islands in the West Lagoon had become overgrown with vegetation, making them unusable for many nesting waders.
