The Reservoir is very low at the moment, we really need some rain. I heard that Thornton is no longer being topped up, it will have to wait for rain to fill it - going to be a lot of rain.
The wildlife is still there though and this Speckled Wood butterfly was basking in the sunshine.

Down on the exposed mud a Pied Wagtail was taking advantage of a place he can't normally see and seemed to be finding plenty to eat.

A Robin flew across the path in front of me and settled in a tree, he seemed to be posing and showing off his collection of food.

Close to the fishing lodge a squirrel was taking advantage of the bird feeder and his comic antics kept us amused for a while, they are incredible acrobats.
