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#9If you’re lucky you’ll discover all 1115 here.
I will probably regret this but will go along with Sooty again and say Arne even though was wrong last time!
We will all have a laugh anyway MrsT,what we need is better strategy like more comments and each person going for different reserve,about 50 of us should do it.
I actually think The Lodge is the best bet, but I'm going to go for a place I remember for butterflies more than birds: Marazion Marsh.

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

Thats it Apple best idea by far everyone go for a different place and you cannot get much further south than Marazion Marsh can you,good luck.
Howdi,
This week’s mystery reserve is..... Tudeley Woods in Kent. Tudeley Woods officially became a reserve in 1985. Home to Blackcap, Green woodpecker, Nuthatch, Marsh and Coal tit, if you are lucky you may also see Woodlark, Nightjar and Lesser spotted woodpeckers. A mixture of woodland and newly restored Heathland, Tudeley Woods provides a perfect habitat for the recently reintroduced Pearl Bordered Fritillary butterflies to hopefully thrive as well as many rare solitary bees and wasps. Did you know that there are currently 1115 species of fungi recorded at Tudeley Woods.
More information on Tudeley Woods can be found here:

Congratulations to all of you who got it correct!
Keep an eye out for next week’s mystery reserve quiz.
Claire
P.S - Don’t forget to jot down the first letter of each reserve.
Well done Ray,think he was the only one to come up with the answer.
Can read MrsT mind,the next reserve is Arne.
Yes, take a little bow Ray, congrats. Blimey, Sooty I'm in real trouble if you can read my mind, but at this time on a friday afternoon, all you might see in tumbleweed :)
Congratulations Ray - I had no idea!
Well done Ray - all I could manage was 2 blind guesses, both of which were wrong!
Thanks all third time lucky
Ray
a good laugh is better than a tonic
