Lovely birds . Nicely done .

[@LewisRound]

Many thanks

[@LeeHallphotography]

Fantastic video. You can blame Aston Vila football club for the mess and rubbish. They own the farm and land. I font know why they don't donate it to the rspb

[@LewisRound]

Thanks for the kind words, yes I support this club and am disappointed they have let it get like this, hopefully they can sort it at some point

[@LewisRound]

Many Thanks, Middleton Lakes is full of variety it's a great reserve 😀

I'm told it's owned by Aston Villa. Whoever owns it let it just get worse and worse.

[@LewisRound]

Yes I've heard that too, I may contact them to see what they could do about it maybe let the RSPB manage it

[@simontocker]

Thing is, whoever owns it, doesn't look like they care, from what I've heard the relationship is bad. If individuals push or create a ruckus, might they wade in destroy the habitat in tidying up the place, or just plain block access.
I hate the state of the place, I hate the scum who are trashing the place, somethings gotta give soon. I feel it will be wildlife and us that get the brunt of this.
I hope I will be proven wrong and actually the owners are planning improvements that are considerate of the environment. Partner with rspb perhaps if either party can.
