Went to the nature reserve for a sunset shot and the lake has been drained to enable cleaning of the ornamental pond - no swans, no herons, just a handful of ducks and not much water left either! I know when the pond was drained there were lots of freshwater eels that had to be relocated but I wonder what has happened to the sticklebacks and the frogs...
Interesting narrative. I hope all the animals that live in the pond found homes. Lovely shot of the cloud reflected in the water and the duck silhouettes.
Love your reflections with the ducks swimming through.
