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 Sadly ‘when trees experience prolonged heat and drought, they lose leaves to reduce water loss. This is a survival tactic, #edgbastonreservoir @bosfonline.bsky.social @birminghamfoe.bsky.social

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. #edgbastonreservoir @bosfonline.bsky.social @bibbeyswildfarms.bsky.social

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. #edgbastonreservoir #localnaturereserve @bosfonline.bsky.social

Tranquil views over #edgastonreservoir as the water levels rise covering the roots of the marginal willows. With the city in view beyond the dam the reservoir a natural oasis for all
