I've lived for a few decades and I'm here to pass on some "life stuff" I've learned (sometimes the hard way!). I live near 2 canals,love walking along these wildlife corridors on the edge of a big city, Birmingham UK. I grew up in Scotland #Ilovenature

Glimpsed through a scraggy reed bed in the reservoir water are 2 white swans with 3 quite large cygnets from the brood of 2025. The reflected light is shimmering on the water with a glimpse of blue sky

How lovely to be able to see them. On the canal and reservoir near where I live, I see ducks, geese, swans, moorhen and sometimes a heron. I feed sparrows , a wee robin and a wren in the garden.

Photo of a narrowboat painted red on the Stratford upon Avon to Birmingham canal in England as it moves towards the junction with the Worcester canal, where there is a restored Tollhouse. It's a December afternoon just before it gets dark. The name "Wong and a Prayer" is painted on the side.
