Respite in the city. A twilight walk with sounds of birds settling down on trees and water at #edgbastonreservoir. Despite requirements to protect this #LNR, Developers set sights to illuminate the #reservoir at night with a proposed waterside development on the opposite side.

A chilly walk after a snowfall in the night. The sky was glorious, lighting up the water and the flocks of birds all settling on the water and margins It feels so calm yet, what impact will the proposed housing development have here at the #edgbastonreservoir Nature Reserve?

If we lose our canals, we lose more than you might think. We lose bees, water voles, kingfishers, and one of nature’s last refuges. We’re working every day to protect them. Will you help? 💙 Donate here: utm.io/uiLiQ
