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?

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.

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.
