The chill at #edgbastonreservoir, as temp hit freezing the birds huddle in the ice and graze in the margins

A chilly walk after a snowfall in the night.
The sky was glorious, lighting up the water and the flocks of birds all settling on the water and margins
It feels so calm yet, what impact will the proposed housing development have here at the #edgbastonreservoir Nature Reserve?
It seems too early for leaf drop like this , a yellow carpet of leaves on the banks of the res

A map. The outline of a reservoir dominates the centre of the map. Around it, parcels of land identifying their purpose or ownership. A road named Reservoir Road linked to the reservoir in the bottom right of the map.

The last day of June and the hottest day so far. No sunset tonight but some glorious reflections as the sky is caught in the reservoir.

Trees springing into their Summer greenery at #edgbastonreservoir . Lovely to have a stroll through the woodland areas on the fringes off the main path .

A beautiful evening walk. Just a few miles outside of #Birmingham city centre and tonight it’s so tranquil with just the sound of the birds settling in. Worth protecting ? A jewel yet still threatened by inappropriate development.
