Staveley Nature Reserve

We have been visiting this Yorkshire Wildlife Trust reserve (grid ref: SE369630) for many years and there is always something of interest whatever the time of year.  There are 2 lagoons; other habitats include fen, grassland, wet pasture and copse, and there are 2 hides.  Otters are seen regularly, quite often in the middle of the day.  Breeding birds include summer visitors such as sand martin, warblers and common tern.  Spring flowers should be showing.  A toilet stop will be organised en route as there are no facilities on site.
