I was down on Monday afternoon during the worst of it & it was passable then. As always though, watch out for the pot holes on the left hand side as you drive down fleet lane towards the hide.

I often see bird reports from Nosterfield. Wasn't able to go for last year's Crane though. Hope to get there sometime.
What is puzzling me at the moment is Marfield nature reserve near Masham. I visited years ago when I lived in Wensleydale. From memory the only thing of note was Little Ringed Plover but I was with a botanist at the time and it was summer.
Despite googling all sorts of searches I can't find any information other than a walk and a planning application. The latter suggests it is still an active quarry.
So my question is, does anyone know this site and where can I find some info?

Ken,you'r right,Marfield is the old quarry on the Leyburn (north) side of Masham,2 entrances both "brown signed" and 2 or 3 basic hides.Even though it is only 9 miles from us at Ripon and in our local clubs' recording area we seldom visit the reserve,always found it either very quiet or over run with dog walkers on the public path through the area.Afraid we spend more time on the reserve and nearby quarry at Nosterfield.

Getting there...
Anyone who birds the Rotherham area may be interested in the HS2 rail route that was revealed today...

Looks like it'll go straight through Orgreave Lakes, and it doesn't look good for Treeton Dyke, Rother Valley CP (especially the Meadowgate Lake nature reserve), Pit House West and Catcliffe Flash.
