Hello Folks,RSPB reserves are great places for you to get closer to nature. So what better reason than to have a quiz to see how much you know about them. Each Monday for 12 weeks, I will be posting a little teaser for you. Without looking in books or on the internet (i.e - no cheating), see if you can identify this RSPB reserve. On Wednesday, so as long as no-one has guessed it, I will post one clue. On Friday I will post the answer along with some additional information for your interest. Just for fun!: Make sure you keep an note of the first letter of each reserve as the weeks go by, and at the end of week 12, see if you can rearrange all 12 letters to spell out a message about our reserves.Here goes ....MYSTERY RSPB RESERVE#4Larus glaucescens was no prisoner of war here.HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
It was fine for this dyslexic. I am pretty good at making my own words up. Add to that soon to be non-functioning keys on the Mac (I spilt a can of coke on it) and there will be more gibberish than usual.....

Excuse wobbily dyslexic spelling!
This week's mystery reserve is..... Saltholme in Cleveland. Opened in
January 2009, Saltholme was officially opened in March 2009 by Kate
Humble. With its new state-of-the-art building, visitors can expect
breathtaking panoramic views of the wetlands at Saltholme. Saltholme is
a great place to see Common tern, Lapwing, Peregrine, Water rail and
Yellow wagtail, with a rare visit from a Glaucous winged gull. Did you
know that Saltholme was once home to World War II prisoners of war.
More information on Saltholme can be found here:

Keep an eye out for next week's mystery reserve quiz.
