Sale Water Park...
What a beautiful spring-like day here in the North West. A stroll around Sale Water Park and adjoining Broad Ees Dole wildlife refuge was delightful. Sale Water Park is a 152-acre area of countryside and parkland including a 52-acre man-made lake. In 2003 Broad Ees Dole became the first site in Trafford to be recognised by English Nature as a Local Nature Reserve, primarily because of its importance to migratory birds and the diversity of its plant life. The lake is popular with local anglers, containing carp, perch, roach, eel and catfish. Rumours are of catfish as large as 70 lb (32 kg) but this may be a fisherman's tale! Heron, Canada Geese, Moorhen, Coots and Mallards were all in attendance.
