Ive waited to see if someone would answer your query but no one has,so here is the details,once at alkborough you have to find the church,wont take long!!,,once you get near the church,veer right and then a sharp left,if you are then going down a steep hill,youve got the right place,if you are not try again.hope you find a mega.small(too small a car-park in relation to its immense size)at bottom of hill.

No rarities but lots of good birds - wildfowl and waders.Good to see so many reed buntings.Really good habitat and nice to have good views from the path.
