11-06-2016 Cromwell Bottom Nature Reserve

A couple of hours with the camera on a Saturday afternoon. A fellow visitor told me he had spotted a couple of deer, I didn't have such luck...




There wasn't many birds at the feeding station this time, as all the feeders looked to be empty. It didn't stop the resident Grey Squirrels from looking for any remnants.





There were four of them at one point.


A Dunnock was rummaging for scraps




A Chaffinch popped down to see if there was anything worth nibbling on




I only spotted a female Mallard on the lagoon, but there are Moorhens there too apparently






The bees were busy collecting nectar





A few guys were fishing, don't know if they caught anything




Foxgloves still look great when they bloom


This swamp looked like something out of Star Wars - The Dagobah system where Luke Skywalker trains with Yoda



Judging by the debris collected on the bridge, the river got to some serious height in the recent floods



Repair work going on to collapsed towpath and bridge, Just goes to show the force of Mother Nature.





Still a great place to visit and I know I'll be back again soon
