In all its glory

Ferrymoor Flash is situated close to the village of Grimethorpe in South Yorkshire. It consists of a large lake with several small islands some that have been created by the forces of nature. There are many trees on the islands that are still growing although they have been uprooted and are laying down. The reserve is a haven for lots of different birds some are resident and some visitors.Many kinds of mammals and other creature can also be found here. I tend to visit the reserve at least once or twice a week to see what is about also meeting up with many visitors including one who regularly feeds the birds from food that has been donated by kind local resident's. This picture shows the reserve at its best. There was still a bit of autumn colour about. This picture was taken in November and used by BBCTV "The One Show" as part of the backdrop to their programme about stories that have got Britain talking..
