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#8Luckily the demon barbers didn’t scare away the Recurvirostra avosetta.
Thinking of Exmouth with the wintering Avocets.

Birding is for everyone no matter how good or bad we are at it,enjoy it while you can
Hmmm I have a recollection between Havergate Island and a wayward bomb, and 'demon barbers' might be an anagram because it contains bomb. So on that basis alone I'm going for Havergate Island
Edited: Also on the basis that the birds must be Avocets
Best wishes Chris

My goodness, this is all far too clever for me - will look forward to the outcome!
Has to be Arne,Robs folk group should be called Demon Barbers.They are quite frightening but the Avocets stick it out.
Aha... a clue tomorrow!
There is a group called demon barbers but not sure of avocets in the same area

a good laugh is better than a tonic
Yes, Arne, with it's World War II connection and Avocets. Thanks Sooty for clue! Hope you're right! Have seen the Demon Barbers too, Barnsley lad, but nothing to do with this!
Oh I get your drift with Fleet ... yes, this is too clever for me, I should just keep quiet in future!
Clue: there was a colliery here once.
