Trees springing into their Summer greenery at #edgbastonreservoir . Lovely to have a stroll through the woodland areas on the fringes off the main path .

A beautiful evening walk. Just a few miles outside of #Birmingham city centre and tonight it’s so tranquil with just the sound of the birds settling in. Worth protecting ? A jewel yet still threatened by inappropriate development.
