Thatcham Nature park & reedbeds
I had to run my wife down to Newbury the other day, so I decided to take a walk around the nature reserve at Thatcham.
An amazing day of wall to wall sunshine.
A few from the canal:

What a lovely looking place Ken. Those canal locks have just brought back so many happy childhood memories.

Thanks guys, it was a wonderful walk although I am nursing a bit of a cold at the moment I still enjoyed it.
Dave, I'm pleased it has had a positive effect for you, next time I go to Stoke Brueme I'll take a few canal shots for you Dave
Hey, Laura I took a picture of this board for you, sorry could not get it all in, I had the fixed 100mm lens on at the time and I would have to have stood in the canal to get it all in the shot

Funny you should mention that, there were some lovely little streams with crystal clear water, while looking into one of them I noticed these sitting on the bottom:
