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#6Where the Luftwaffe looking for Gyrinus suffriani when they photographed this site in the 1940s?

I will open the bidding with Minsmere as I seem to recall some old Luftwaffe photos of the area.Even if its wrong it might inspire others to join in.

Some interesting suggestions here folks, keep 'em coming. Will post a clue as per usual tomorrow.....
The Luffwaffa mistook the Romsey,Hythe & Distric Railway (RHDR) for a defence supply line and actually bombed a minature train line .
