Staveley Nature Reserve - my new local wetland.

23/11/2024

In the month of November I discovered the Yorkshire Wildlife Trusts Staveley Nature Reserve located between Harrogate and Ripon. It is easily accessible and looks stunning in the rare Yorkshire sunlight, both at dawn and dusk. 

My visits to date have found it full of potential photo opportunities with with roe deer, photogenic farm stock, and a wide variety of bird life in evidence.

The combination of hides, and a good circular 2 mile walk if you choose, has made it my new go to place. The only downside is that it is very popular with dog walkers etc so an early start is highly recommended.
