I haven't been out in the countryside very much for quite a long time, partly because I still can't drive myself anywhere and partly because it's been so cold and this winter I've felt the cold a lot. Anyway, today Chris and I went to this Herefordshire Wildlife Trust Reserve. The lake used to be a commercial gravel quarry and when all the gravel had been extracted the lake was very deep with very steep sides and was very wildlife unfriendly.The Herefordshire Wildlife Trust have spent 5 years on a restoration project to make the lake much more sympathetic to wildlife. We had a lovely day walking around the lake and sitting in the bird hides.
A beautiful shot, Sue! I especially love how you have framed the deep blue of the lake in the foreground and how the lake is like a leading line, in a way, taking us far into the landscape! And what a good news story! Fav
