Canal Walk - Four Locks Bridge (Prestwood) to Bells Mill (15 March, 2015)


Just before Bells Mill a carp fishery has been created, called Bells Mill Fishery.  It can only be viewed from the canal towpath and, what I could see, there are two pools with islands in the centre. Pairs of canada geese seemed to have took up occupation of the islands, no doubt with a view to breeding. The pools look to have good potential in attracting  passage and nesting birds. But we will wait to see how much disturbance there will be from ones fishing there.

On my return walk, a male reed bunting was singing at Middle Bridge.
