This movie reflects my fascination with the Edgbaston Reservoir. It's got everything from wildlife to water sports to night photography to the weather to...

Highlights include a flying duck, a swan, a bumble bee at work and a great crested grebe diving. Well worth a view if you've got a spare 10 minutes.

Birmingham is famous for having more canals than Venice and this reservoir was built by Thomas Telford in 1826 to feed them. It's a little bit of paradise set in inner city Ladywood.

  • But still it doesn't mean that everyone will end up this way like they did. Beside why would someone stay so long in cold water despite body shivering, goose bumps and body becoming numb like it would be pleasant...

  • Point taken.

  • I was a bit disappointed that there was no swimming allowed.

  • Some people went swimming in the Reservoir earlier this Summer and ended up getting treated for hypothermia. It made the local news.

  • I go kayaking there on a friday night in the summer from 6.30-9pm .

    Its a nice place to visit and loose your self for a few hours.

  • p.s Spread the word. I'm quite proud of this one.

see all
