Blithfield Reservoir

The view across the reservoir from Watery Lane shows one of two boats with people fishing in the rain. The right hand edge shows the causeway across the reservoir that carries the B5013. As we drove across the causeway and also whilst we stopped to take the photo there were large numbers of Swift swooping low over the water. I presume they were catching insects to stock up their body reserves after the long migration from Africa.
