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#11Let’s hope that Hazel Coppice doesn’t wake up one of Alice’s fellow guests.

Hi Kel21
Think your on the wrong thread for this. Probably better in The tea rooms or All creatures Where more people will read it

a good laugh is better than a tonic
Going back to the quiz, nearly put Broadwater warren as MrsT suggested it as a place to see dormice in guess the mammal quiz with the answer being dormouse.
This week’s mystery reserve is..... Garston Wood in Dorset. An ancient woodland famous for its carpets of bluebells and wood anemones, Garston wood is home to a whole host of animals. Birds that can be found in the woods include Blackcap, Bullfinch, Garden warbler, Jay and Nuthatch and if you are lucky a Nightingale. Garston wood is also a great place for moths such as the Scorched carpet, the Triple spotted pug, and the July Highflyer to name but a few. Other plants found here include Bird’s nest orchid, Common twayblade and Toothwort.
Did you know that hazel coppicing is carried out at Garston Wood. This helps this ancient woodland keep healthy and a provide a good habitat for such critters as dormice.
More information on Garston Wood can be found here:

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

P.S - Don’t forget to jot down the first letter of each reserve.
