HBM from Aston Locks nature reserve

This relatively new bird hide was the last part of the restoration programme on the Montgomery Canal near Queens Head. It's a bit slippery in places to get to, but the view over the lake is really good. We first ventured there in the summer and there was too much growth to see anything. Now that things are dying down we spotted a heron and 2 diving ducks which might have been grebe, but I can't be sure. I had to stand up to look through the viewing window, but most folks could just sit down on the bench and look out. ;-) We'll visit again in early winter to see what's there.

Excellent birdwatching post, but a roof would be more comfortable when you have to wait long! HBM Amelia
