Eight miles south east of York, four miles east of the A19. From Wheldrake follow the road (Carr Lane) towards Thorganby and out of the village where the road takes a sharp right turn. 0.5 miles further on a narrow road to you left (after the Yorkshire Water compound) takes you down to the nature reserve. Park on the stony area next to the bridge over the River Derwent.
There are two different car parks, one for Wheldrake Ings, the other one for Bank Island. Both places are really close to each other and you can easily walk between the two (10 min).

The wetlands attract a wide range of birds. Spring and autumn can be exciting as migrant waders, terns and raptors pass through. Marouette ponctuée, Râle d'eau and Mésange boréale all breed along with many common waders and ducks. Busard des roseaux, Faucon hobereau and Faucon pèlerin are all seen regularly with the chance of an Balbuzard pêcheur or Guifette noire during migration.
