Hi,

Any of you guys have any suggestions for good spots to go that aren't a million miles from NG20?

Looking for birds, dragonflies and wildlife in general - would be nice if its a nice family outing place too :)

Ta,

John
 
By the way if it helps I actually live in Warsop, so halfway between Mansfield and Worksop.

I have found a place called Peter Fidler Reserve at Bolsover but haven't had much luck there so far.
 
Thats a great starting point, thanks
 
Attenborough wetlands (other side of nottingham) is a brilliant place to visit. I went to it on a tour of it during my uni induction last year was quite fantastic. Clumber Park is nice too! :)

Cheers guys, I've taken one of my favourite shots at Yorkshire Wildlife Park, it is a good day out and I even got a free return when I went, Clumbers great too, but I prefer Rufford, its cheaper and has more variety.

I've not heard of Attenborough wetlands, is that here: If so looks good and only 30 miles away :)
 
haha, hows this for a coincidence, we were staying away in a hotel last night visiting a friends wedding and I picked up a few leaflets without really looking at them, anyway I yelled over to my wife about the Attenborough Nature Reserve being close and looking good and she says I got a leaflet for it today, lo and behold there it was :D
 
^^ - Thats cool. Attenborough is calling you! :D
