Default Roach Bridge Weir

Hello everyone. I went for a drive on Sunday in my lunchbreak and happened to come across this lovely Weir at a little village called Roach Bridge. The population of the village is about thirty. I hope you enjoy this lovely place.

The Weir is now behind me
River Darwen.

A Heron showed up

But then he dissappeared, not really. But,can you spot him?

Thanks for taking a look

Jake.

I never saw stuff like that on my lunch breaks !! What a gorgeous area you are in. Very nice shots. I like how you shifted it up to get the water different ways. And yes I can see the bird in the last one !! Nice work,

Very nice Jake. I love how green it is. The water looks like it's calling to me to cast a fly into it. Thanks for sharing it mate.
