Winter wanders: wild skies and rainbows at Woodberry Wetlands

After the rainy start to the week, I needed to get my walking shoes on and get out for a bit. I decided to head to Woodberry Wetlands for a walk and a bit of lunch at Lizzy's at the Coal House (not disappointed, lovely risotto!)

I was rewarded almost as soon as I arrived with a rainbow.

After lunch I walked slowly around the reservoir spotting birds, including cormorants, tufted ducks and later the young great crested grebe.

The skies were amazing, constantly changing from darkest grey to great towering clouds, blue sky and a weak but determined November sun

The trees were still trying to add a little colour to the scenery

but most of the leaves were on the ground by now

Walking back the West Reservoir was determined to get in on the dramatic action

Such a lovely place, so lucky to have it so close. As lovely in Winter as Summer. Go soon and listen to the wind in the reeds.
