Keldmarsh Nature Reserve where wood sprites play.

Can you see the guardian?

Two white butterflies dance in the dappled light, wary of cruising dragon flies. Woodland sprites play as the guardian passes, grateful for his care. He walks quietly with his dog, seeking to preserve this special place where a chalk stream begins its urban voyage. Once, long ago it would have been in a very rural place. Here is an impression of a small woodland. It serves as a buffer for the Keldmarsh Nature reserve. Today is very hot again, shortly Arthur Fery will play his semi final at Wimbledon. From this reserve a spring produces crystal clear water which feeds Beverley’s only CHALK STREAM. Developments nearby threaten the stream where, until recently, water voles could be regularly seen. About five years ago I recorded a simply tribute which can be heard here.  It is approx 8 minutes long so make a drink and listen for the sounds of birds, cattle, the Minster bells and George barking.
