April Showers

Thursday, April 26th 2012

With all the rain over the last few days the weir has once again been transformed from a quiet trickle to a thundering torrent.

Washing over the Weir

The streams have also risen and in places are very close to bursting their banks.

After being cut earlier in the year there are plenty of fresh green shoots now showing and the reedbed is looking fabulous.
