I visited the Doxey Marshes Nature Reserve in Stafford last month, only to find the recent persistent heavy rains and overflowing sections of the River Sow had converted it into something more like the Doxey lake. There probably were ways round the water obstacles, but after a while I gave up trying to find them. Included among the consolation pictures I did manage to get were these views of a small flight of Canada geese moving to a different spot on the reserve.
