I know many county birders have enjoyed excursions to Worlarby Carrs in Lincolnshire, mainly for its rather huge wintering raptor population (think over 20 Short-eared Owls at any one time in winter!). It seems this site is now seriously under thread and with it the loss of an extremely (nationally?) important habitat for many bird species. I have been asked to post the link below so you might put your name to the petition to try and save it; whether we're 'weeing into the wind' or not in trying to save it, its surely worth a try anyway?
