List of Local Nature Reserves in Bedfordshire

 * Nominator(s): Dudley Miles (talk) 15:00, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

This list follows the format of List of Local Nature Reserves in Hertfordshire, which recently passed FLC, and I hope it will also be found to be of FL quality, Dudley Miles (talk) 15:00, 3 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Review by PresN

Recusing myself in order to review this list.


 * "As of January 2016 there are twenty Local Nature Reserves in Bedfordshire, eight in Bedford, eleven in Central Bedfordshire and one in Luton" - the 8/11/1 are the breakdown of the 20, so the comma after Bedfordshire should be a colon.
 * Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:29, 7 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Cooper's Hill - "This Site of Special Scientific Interest has the best remaining area in the county of heathland" - best? What determines best?
 * Now cited as the view of Natural England. Dudley Miles (talk)


 * Why is it "Galley and Warden Hills SSSI", not just "Galley and Warden Hills"? It's the only SSSI to get that callout in the name
 * This is how it is shown by Natural England. All names are as in the NE listing.


 * Henlow Common - "Plants include marsh marigolds and there are kingfishers and the river bank has otters and water voles." - and...and...
 * Revised. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:29, 7 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Marston Thrift - "Like Kings Wood and Glebe Meadows, this is a Site of Special Scientific Interest which ash and maple woodland on heavy clay." - which "has"?
 * Fixed. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:29, 7 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Should Park Wood, Bedford just be Park Wood, since the disambiguator isn't needed in a Bedfordshire list?
 * As Galley and Warden Hills SSSI above. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:29, 7 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Putnoe Wood - "Bird species include wood pigeons, blue tits and great tits" - seems consistent to link those three species, since you link other relatively common animals
 * Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:29, 7 January 2016 (UTC)


 * I fixed a citation error that I'm not sure is usually directly visible to editors- line break inside of a citation title
 * Thanks. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:29, 7 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Pretty darn solid overall, some quick fixes and I'll support. If you found this review helpful, consider optionally reviewing my World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement FLC down below. -- Pres N  21:56, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review Pres. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:29, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Support, looks like you've gotten the pattern for these lists down. -- Pres N  01:26, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much Pres. Dudley Miles (talk) 08:58, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Comments –
 * Cottage Bottom Fields: Not sure Wheatears should be capitalized.
 * Changed. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:34, 16 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Flitwick Wood: "with some ancient trees and others which have been recently planted." Should "been" and "recently" be reversed in order?
 * Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:34, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the comments Giants. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:34, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Support – well up to the fine standard of its predecessors, and certainly meets FL criteria. I think there is an unintentionally repeated word in the Harrold-Odell Country Park row: "water water meadows". That apart, I have nothing but applause. –  Tim riley  talk    16:26, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Many thanks Tim. Typo corrected. Dudley Miles (talk) 16:51, 2 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Support Nice work on the list. &mdash; Vensatry (Talk) 08:23, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
