If it helps, there are no F's in the name of this reserve... and that's all I am going to say until friday. Blimey, its the last one, i had best start thinking about what quizzicals to do next!
Theres no f in hope
By f I mean flippin LOL
Ray
a good laugh is better than a tonic
Think John Coopers answers best of all,LOL
Seaman ---yes am reliably informed 17 pairs of Puffins all in a row.
Titchwell Marsh, no idea why.
Can we have a slightly easier quiz next time Mrs T as my brain cells ache
Caroline in Jersey
I'll second that - meaning an easier quiz - I've no idea about the reserve, again!
The answer to the whole quiz......................??

Absolutely brilliant John,makes me think my answer could be correct or Appleanns
could just as easily be 17 pairs Pied Flycatchers in nest boxes in a row at Inversnaid.
Hey, John - don't give it away, (actually you got in before me, I'd got that too). I don't think the clue can have anything to do with Ancient Mariner as we don't have an Albatross round here. :-)
I'm now going for Inchmickery.
What is next Mrs T? Will it be a Mystery Mystery Quiz?
So long,

Ummm, what indeed! I am thinking UK (Wild) plants. Will post a poll later on to see what folk think, so watch this space.
This week’s mystery reserve is..... Isley Marsh in Devon. Isley Marsh was purchased in 1990 and is made up of saltmarsh and intertidal mudflats on the southern edge of the Taw Torridge estuary. In the 1930s, the submerged Stone Row of Yelland was excavated from the mud in the estuary. Now submerged, this stone row consists of seventeen pairs of stones and stone holes. Thought to date from the Bronze age, the row may have been built on an island in the estuary. From flint working evidence, the area was clearly a hive of activity right back until the Mesolithic. Did you know that Isley Marsh is a great place to see Teal, Greenshank, Curlew and if you are lucky Spoonbills.
More information on Isley Marsh can be found here:

So have you been keeping a note of all the first letters of each reserve? If so, re-arrange them to produce a phrase to do with our reserves... answer on monday along with a poll for the next quiz if you're up for it!
