Nature reserve


I went down to the nature reserve yesterday afternoon for a couple of hours, the only spare time I had this weekend, and actually saw quite a lot. There was a fleeting glimpse of one of the Kingfishers, three different Green Woodpeckers, Dabchick with chick, Moorhen with chick, usual assorted butterflies & one grass snake which disappeared before I had time to photograph it
The nature reserve is run by the wildlife trust and consists of a couple of meadows, a pond and a wooded walk, all bordering the River Arrow. although small It always surprises me how much there is to see. Sometimes it can be to busy with dog walkers or kids, but that is all part of where it is located.
Anyway here is a couple of pics taken there.

  4. The shot of the Kingfisher in the earlier post and the shot of the Buttercups through the diffused foreground is very effective.
