I spotted a new reserve the other day and suggested to Paul that we should go and have a look today given the decent weather forecast. Rodley Nature Reserve is near Pudsey, West Yorkshire, across a bridge from the main road in Rodley.
Half way up the motorway the heavens opened but thankfully not for too long, by the time we got there it was dry but still grey with no sign of the promised sunshine.
I've been to a few reserves with Paul over the last few years and this is the first one where the other folk there have been outwardly friendly, which was nice, as was the coffee in the visitor centre!
Our timing was perfect, we arrived at one of the hides just as a Kingfisher did and spent ages watching him in action.
Can't wait to go back, looks like it will be great place to visit in Spring and Summer.
Debbie.

Potteric Carr
Had a trudge round Potteric Carr yesterday, loads to see but not a great deal in range of my 200mm lens even with a 2x converter. On the up side, having to use manual focus with the converter wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be, I still need to try it out with the 300mm lens though.
I'm all photographed out today, having a break from it before we head off yet again!
