View of Silver Birch Trees (Betula pendula) & Reflections in Small Lake, Staverton Lakes, Staverton Park, Wantisden, Suffolk

            These small lakes that you pass when enter the footpath towards Staverton Park, in Suffolk, from the north are full of water birds, or waterfowl. This image shows a reflection of a line of silver birch trees (Betula pendula) in the early morning light reflected in the water. The ponds are surrounded by reeds and bullrushes, sometimes making the view across the water difficult, but during winter there are a number of gaps that can be exploited.

Out recently in the beautiful morning light in the stunningly beautiful Staverton Park, a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), a Grade I Nature Conservation Review site and a Special Area of Conservation, the sun rose first thing and it turned into a beautiful morning. After taking images of the ancient trees that fill the park, we (the dog and I) walked back to the car. On the walk we passed these lakes again.

I did take some of these lakes when we first arrived at about 6.30am but by the time we were leaving, the sun was up and the light helped create some beautiful reflections on the water.
