Reedbeds by the Severn estuary The land beyond the fence in the foreground is an important breeding ground for birds, and is maintained as a nature reserve by the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust based at nearby Slimbridge. The public are barred from this part of the reserve, but it's possible to get a glimpse into it from the neighbouring fields.

Mudflats near Frampton-on-Severn The latest edition of the OS Landranger map marks mud on the left (i.e. east) side of the Severn channel and sand on the right side. This stretch of mud near Frampton extends along the estuary for a couple of kilometres, and the grassy foreshore (behind the mud cliffs on the right) is made up of several millennia of silt deposits.

Channels in the mudflats This particular stretch of mudflats drains inland, with a rather straight channel carrying the water back to the river. I'm not sure of the explanation for this natural phenomenon, but I suspect it might be that when the river floods, it deposits the largest load of silt at the point closest to where it bursts its banks. (This is certainly the reason why levees form along rivers prone to flooding.) The sun can be seen setting behind the Forest of Dean.
