A Visit to Branston Leas Nature Reserve: #5from7photo

Branston Leas Nature Reserve is a small reserve north of Tucklesholme on the bank of the River Trent; this is run by Staffordshire Wildlife Trust. I was there with a couple of other photography volunteers and our supervisor.

This visit was more of a scoping exercise rather than a full photography visit for a virtual tour. I took some panoramic views, landscapes and detailed images. Here is a selection:

Branston Leas: panoramic view of the River Trent
View upstream of the river looking roughly southwards
A view of the river looking downstream – roughly northwards
Orange tip butterfly seen in a small copse by the river
Wild swimmers in the river: seeing them showed how shallow the river was in places, and how fast it was flowing – they didn’t need to swim, just drift in the current.

I intend to return to take a set of images for a virtual tour…
