Best Place to See Red Squirrels
Alverstone Mead Nature Reserve的点评
点评：We came to Alverstone Mead searching for the elusive red squirrels on the final morning of our trip, after already having tried three other locations with no luck. We should have come here first as it didn’t disappoint! We arrived early in the morning about 8:30-9am. Visited the hide area first - no luck here (this may be because the feeders looked empty), we just saw a few friendly small birds. We walked quietly along the path into the woodland and sure enough within a few minutes we saw two red squirrels chasing each other in the trees! We walked a little further and came across a confident large rabbit who hopped around very close to us. There were more small birds following along (we could also see larger birds in the tree canopy above, including two Jays). We were limited on time because of catching our ferry home - but we were delighted with another red squirrel sighting in the trees on the way back to the start of the trail! Our visit lasted approximately 25 minutes in total and we saw three red squirrels within this time and we didn’t have to walk too far down the trail before finding them.
Highly recommend coming here to see the red squirrels and the other wildlife - if we’d had more time we would have loved to have walked for longer and i’m sure we would have seen much more.
The only slight drawback is the lack of parking - the satnav took us to the entrance right next to the hide up a narrow road (Burnt House Lane I believe) - and there is no parking allowed here, so we had to be dropped off (thankfully my partner had seen red squirrels in the Lake District previously, so didn’t mind “taking one for the team”). One of the friendly residents mentioned there was parking back in the village (and I think there’s another entrance to the reserve that end) but would definitely recommend looking into this before arriving.

翻译：在旅程的最后一天早上，我们来到了 Alverstone Mead 寻找难以捉摸的红松鼠，在此之前，我们已经尝试了其他三个地方，但都没有找到。我们应该先来这里，因为它没有让我们失望！我们一大早就到了，大约 8:30-9 点。首先参观了隐藏区域 - 在这里没有找到任何线索（这可能是因为喂食器看起来是空的），我们只看到了几只友好的小鸟。我们沿着小路静静地走进林地，果然，几分钟后，我们看到两只红松鼠在树上互相追逐！我们再往前走了一会儿，遇到了一只自信的大兔子，它在我们身边跳来跳去。后面还有更多的小鸟（我们还可以看到树冠上更大的鸟，包括两只松鸦）。由于要赶渡船回家，我们的时间有限 - 但在返回小径起点的路上，我们很高兴在树上看到了另一只红松鼠！我们的参观总共持续了大约 25 分钟，在此期间我们看到了三只红松鼠，我们没走太远就找到了它们。
强烈推荐来这里看红松鼠和其他野生动物 - 如果我们有更多的时间，我们会很乐意走得更久，我相信我们会看到更多。
唯一的缺点是没有停车位 - 卫星导航带我们沿着一条狭窄的道路（我相信是 Burnt House Lane）到达隐藏处旁边的入口 - 这里不允许停车，所以我们不得不下车（幸运的是我的伙伴以前在湖区见过红松鼠，所以不介意“为团队牺牲一只”）。其中一位友好的居民提到村子里有停车场（我认为那头还有另一个通往保护区的入口），但我绝对建议在到达之前先看看这个。
