Saltholme Wild Bird Discovery Centre, near Middlesbrough, has attracted more than 30,000 visitors since opening in January, and is on target to attract 100,000 by the end of the year.   The 1,000 acre reserve was developed by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and the Teesside Environmental Trust. It has created around 20 jobs and will give a £1m boost to the local economy.
