The RSPB runs these popular cruises throughout the summer until August, while the Yorkshire Belle operates its own services to showcase the amazing range of birds at the site.

Mr Mellor said: “There were a lot of happy birders on the boat.”

Booking a place on the cruises is essential as they sell out very quickly.
