As many of you who read my posts will know,we bus,bike and walk everywhere so It can be a bit of a hoof getting to our "local" reserves but we do get there.On one of our walks over the last few years we have noticed an area transform from a field Into a local nature reserve.It has landscaped areas and flood alleviation works constructed as part of a park and ride scheme.There are two retention ponds and today we saw Swans and Ducks and a Moorhen.It was really nice to see ,because In march this year we didn't see any Birds at all on the pond.
Also saw some Dragonflies and Damselflies
This Crow posed for me on a rock
We also saw Great tits, Blackbirds various other birds but the highlight for me just walking away from the reserve along the river we saw two Grey Wagtails no pic they were a bit quick.
All this from a park and ride that was built and a short walk from our town centre, quite nice I think.

What a lovely place. Your photos are great. The dragonflies and damselflies can be difficult to photograph so well done. The rook is very handsome. He is posing nicely but can I detect a slight wariness about the eyes :-)
Kind regards Jane.
