Just found this thread...great idea Pam.
My local reserve, of which I am a subscription paying Friend, is Rodley Nature Reserve. This is a former water treatment facility (sewage farm) that was converted to a nature reserve in the very late 90's. I don't get down there as often as I would wish as my day off no longer coincides with the day during the week when it is open. Weekends are difficult as I work Saturday and Sunday is usually spent with Sheila.
The road across the top of the first pic is the entrance road and the works you can see are still in use by Yorkshire Water, but the lower part of the pic is all reserve. There are now several ponds for dragonflies etc, which don't show as the picture is an old one from google earth.
They get surprisingly good birds at the reserve, including a spotted crake one year! It's one of the best places I know in the area for common gull, good for gt spot woodpecker and sparrowhawk. Excellent for whitethroat, chiffchaff and bullfinch and if you can remember the kingfisher I had for an avatar...I took the photo on the reserve.
I've also added some views of the main areas as marked on the map.
