Late Autumn - Macclesfield Forest

I had a spare day so headed up the road to Macclesfield Forest. I intended to do a little birding but succumbed to the wide angle lense to grab some late Autumn colour. The forest area has four reservoirs, this is the smallest of the four.

A move to the largest of the reservoirs just as the rain clouds came in. 

This is Trentabank reservoir home to the large colony of Breeding Cormorants and Grey Herons

 

As a footnote I did locate some nice species of bird including 6 Little Grebe, Kingfisher, Pochard male, 3 Buzzards, a single Raven a few Jays and a large flock of Fieldfare

all the above images are straight out of the camera...... however this next one has had some post processing to add a little drama to it (Same image as #6 above)
