THE COORDINATES LISTED ARE NOT THE CORRECT ONES FOR THIS CACHE. This cache is located near Lotherton Hall, accessible via a couple of footpaths but the easist and shortest way is a public footpath which heads off from the back of the Lotherton Hall estate. Good gentle walk, may get muddy at times. The cache is right next to the path - there is no need to stray into the field or woods
As the cache is close to Lotherton Hall Bird Garden, the coordinates can only be gained by solving the following bird-themed puzzle. It is not necessary to visit the bird garden to get the answers...they are best found in a good bird book or on the RSPB website! Write down the numerical answers to the following questions and you should have the coords!
North
Q1 How many British Owls are there? (Brown Owls not included!)
Q2 How many 'e's in the name of the falcon which famously nests at Malham cove?
Q3 How many inches long is a Green Woodpecker, X4
Q4 How many letters in the name of the bird used as a logo by the RSPB?
Q5 The number of letters in the place where a lark flys?
Q6 How many letters in the colour of a Snowy Owl's eyes?
West
Q1 00 plus the number of eggs a puffin lays each year
Q2 The number of species of penguin there are, plus 1
Q3 How many letters in Britain's smallest bird?
Q4 How many letters in the name of the species whose latin name is Larus?
Q5 How many letters in the common name for Tringa totanus?
The best place to park is in the Lotherton Hall car park which costs £3.60 for the day. However there is lots to do - a deer park, gardens and bird garden all free, a hall/museum,, playground, shop and cafe.
