Thank you to our members, David Hillebrandt and Joss Scott, for sending these absolutely stunning images of their morning kayak at Roadford Lake earlier this month.

How beautiful is that misty autumnal morning light! ⛅️

This month’s featured 2025 Photography Competition highlight is an image of a male Bearded Reedling or Bearded Tit, taken by David Green at Longham Lakes. 🐦

If you are lucky you can spot some of these birds in autumn as they flock together, flying out from reedbeds. Listen out for their short, sharp 'chew' calls.

Thank you David for this fantastic submission, what a catch! 📷

Make this month a time to embrace the special changes that October and autumn bring. You can do this anywhere but we (of course) especially recommend an autumnal visit to your favourite lake!

Here are our favourite ways to make the best of the season:
🍂 Enjoy the annual display of stunning autumnal reds and golds on a lake walk.
🍏 Forage for crab apples or sloe berries and try your hand at some seasonal recipes.
🌠 The longer nights make for a great time stargazing whilst not being too chilly.
🍄 Spot some spectacular fungi formations, now is the best time of the year for them.
