The lake is still overflowing from all the recent rain and that overflow area is more still that the waters of the lake itself. When I approached yesterday to check out which birds were present, this Moorhen was walking along the edge, its progress so slow that it wasn’t disturbing the watery reflections. The day was dull and grey so the light on the bird was not the best but I still took rather a lot of photos.

We’re half way through Storm Christoph – it drenched much of the country last night and is forecast to blast us again later today and all of tomorrow. It’s times like these I am thankful I live in a town that’s mostly built on a clifftop, though even here the heavy rainfall has caused surface flooding on the already sodden ground. I can enjoy the reflections but my thoughts are with those much less fortunate.

I’m moving house in a couple of weeks so I’ve started saying goodbye to some of my favourite local spots – not that I won’t ever see them again, as Roath Park will still be a short 30-minute train ride away, but now it’s just a 5-minute walk.

I’ve taken lots of photographs of Roath Brook in the 17 months I’ve lived in this area, mostly from a similar angle, standing on one bridge and looking towards the other, ’cause it’s just such a lovely scene. Here are just a few of those shots, mostly taken in autumn and winter as the leaves obscure the scene in spring and summer.
