I think it is a bat box, it would be interesting to visit the reserve at dusk to see whether its occupied. <br /><br />Hello ShySongbird, thank you very much, that's very kind of you to comment. As its such a lovely reserve, I was delighted to return home with photos that reflected how much we'd enjoyed our visit. <br /><br />Best wishes all & I look forward to reading each of your future postings, Lindakirstallcreatureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13998154163393757732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144580949373853133.post-16830860720142199352009-08-28T16:32:09.595+01:002009-08-28T16:32:09.595+01:00What a great blog you have here, I have spent some...What a great blog you have here, I have spent some time looking at your previous posts and there is so much of interest! I am sure I have been here before but as I can't find anywhere I have commented it may have been that I discovered you late one night and intended to come back but then by morning had forgotten :( anyway I'm glad I found my way back (via Pam's blog) and will definitely visit again. Your photos are lovely! I particularly liked the Heron and Fox pics. :)ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144580949373853133.post-87784758454664005032009-08-26T08:38:13.775+01:002009-08-26T08:38:13.775+01:00A beautiful illustrated description of what looks ...A beautiful illustrated description of what looks to have been a great day out. It is years since I have seen a fox, such lovely creatures to look at.

Thanks Emma, m...Thanks Dad, it is a lovely place. <br /><br />Thanks Emma, my parents have recently started to visit Gosforth Nature Reserve. I haven't been as yet but I'm sure I'll fit in a visit next time we're up there.<br /><br />Thanks Pam, its funny isnt it, we didnt have a clue that it was there until Andrea found mention of it on the web. The map should help. Its just off the path at the far right corner of the lake walk, (near the big upturned tree trunk) & just before the path comes round to join the lake. Im sure your little one will enjoy it.<br /><br />Lindakirstallcreatureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13998154163393757732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144580949373853133.post-32013130832227342942009-08-25T18:48:02.079+01:002009-08-25T18:48:02.079+01:00What great photos, I love the Heron - my favourite...What great photos, I love the Heron - my favourite bird.
