Behind the fence is Trentabank Reservoir, Macclesfield Forest, North West England.
This is the largest of four reservoirs in the forest area, it is also home to a breeding colony of Cormorants and Grey Herons.

The sign explains the Herons breeding, nesting and behaviour and is part of the Cheshire Wildlife Trust and the water company (United Utilities)

A great resource to have handy to watch birds at. Our reservoirs are all securely fenced off, no fishing and no possibility of birdwatching either.
j'adore la première photo le ciel chargé de nuages c'est superbe!
Bon week-end !
Nice post! Thanks & Welcome for your comment and visit to my blog.
Merci.
Have a nice day!
What beautiful sceneries!
Such a beautiful place! I love the lighting in these shots. Just wondered, is fishing allowed there? And if so, what kind of fish do you have?
Hi Rose
Fishing is not allowed on this reservoir, but is allowed on two of the four in the area. One is supported by the Prince Albert (a pub in Macclesfield) fishing society. Regarding the fish I thing it is mainly Carp.
Wrong! its Macclesfield Waltonions angling society.... I should have known that...lol
Common and Mirror carp, Bream amongst others, the magic of google told me that,
Wow, those are some excellent colors! Thanks for visiting.
Those colors are fascinating!
Oh, wow, what a beautiful area to see nesting herons. Ours are in the swamp, deep in the swamp with the alligators. :)
Beautiful shots.
nice place and fence. And I like that kind of signs that explains things. :)
Glad you liked my header on the photo blog. :)
pretty autumn views!!!
What a gorgeous area. It is such a good thing the area is covered under the Cheshire Wildlife Trust. I bet the birding there is fantastic. Beautiul fall scenery.
A gorgeous area fenced in for your enjoyment.

Hi Dave! Thanks for sharing this lovely place! Your photos have captured its beauty well! I also enjoy watching the herons nest. At our local wetlands, many pairs of Great Blues nest (right near a popular road) each year.
What a beautiful place!!!
