Maiden Erlegh Lake Nature Reserve

A really nice place for a stroll and not too big, a walk around the lake doesn't take too long, but offeres quite a lot to see.

Flanked by woodland, on two sides, it attracts a great variety of wildlife, including many songbirds and a range of waterfowl.

Here are some photos taken on my visit there today.

Sounds a very nice place for a visit.
Great set of captures Rolf.

A little small for a day out, more suitable for an hour's stroll.

[Chocky]

Oh yes. I see. Nice little place though if you haven't got a whole day
I will stick to Yateley and the surrounding lakes with some sarnies etc , Nice day out

Here are some photos from my visit for an hour or so this Saturday. You can see both Mandarin and Wood Ducks, plus an array of pretty wildflowers, the names of which I will add once I've looked them up.

Nice captures Rolf. Mandarins are beautiful ducks.
Is it far from Yateley. I could get Matt to drop me off there and pick me up later I can spend hours in one place if there is wild life. It would also make a change

Not far Beryl, but not really a day out.

I wouldn't spend the whole day there. I would probably be there for a couple of hours whilst Matt pops into work ,may make a change. I'll see though when I next visit, depends on his availability to entertain his mum . Looks nice though. Mind you my next visit will be in the summer so the lake could be teaming with wildlife.
