BHM under water

Yesterday evening 2 hours before high tide.  The water level by the entrance gate was above my wellies


The water level turning left on the path towards the Island hide was at least 3 feet deep


And toward the tower hide would have been over my head as I can't normally see over the reeds
A disaster for our reed warblers


The levels this pm have gone down somewhat though still too deep  to get to the tower hide


And this is the route to the island hide


The entrance to the island hide



Lots of islands still under water


This was the only wildlife on the water


An isolated tower hide from the other side of the river


Stafford marsh has also been badly affected though now clear of water
