Lyndon Visitor Centre & Nature Reserve — Attraction in Great Britain

Fabulous few days spent at this reserve. We stayed just up the road in our Motorhome with our 2 dogs and this reserve was our "go to" place, absolutely amazing to see the Ospreys, even though my camera long lens isn't quite long enough I did get a couple of reasonable shots to remind me of the wonderful time we had. Last Friday in the large Osprey hide the warden (I didn't get his name) was so knowledgeable and friendly, explaining lots of the different species, so Interesting, Thank you so much to him as with his help I got a nice photo of a Sedge Warbler, something we don't see where we live. Superb place, we will definitely...

Take your sandwiches because the other hides are definitely worth a visit too. So allow plenty of time for your visit. The visitor centre is only open part of the year, though the hides are open all year...
