A black and white picture from the bird hide of the lake at Bolton on Swale Nature Reserve. There are dark grey rain clouds in the sky at the top of the frame, and the sun is breaking through them, creating a beam of light that is sparkling on the lake water below. The far bank and contours of the lake and tree tops behind are visible below the clouds, and in the foreground at the near edge of the lake are thin reeds growing sparsely out of the water.

The late afternoon sun breaks through the clouds and sparkles on the water below. #scape #B&W #skyscape #landscape #lakes #naturereserves #nature #photography #ECK #EastCoastKin

1/2 #Naturereserves often help Europe's #rivers less than expected. A new study led by #UDE and @sgn.one in #NatureCommunications shows that measurable improvements usually only occur when entire river basins are included – not just individual sections of riverbank.

The world's largest nature reserve for penguins was created unintentionally. The Falkland Islands were heavily land-mined in the Falklands War, making the beaches off-limits to humans and large predators. But penguins are not heavy enough to trigger the land mines, so the beaches became a safe haven for thousands of them.
