Tesco / Millhouses River sheaf floods Sheffield

This was taken at the 'fallen tree' area at Tesco Millhouses at approx 4:45 on the day of the flood (25/06/07). Its hard to describe what it normally looks like but the trees don't normally grow in water, its usually quiet and fairly still. There were some beautiful Mandarin ducks nesting next to the fallen tree, but sadly theyve not been seen since the floods. There was also a ferel cat round here, but not seen that since either. Im not sure people have realised how devastating the flood has been on local wildlife. Ive only seen 2 ducklings this year and that was on the 15th June (day of the first flood). Dont think we'll see many more this year.

I can't believe that it is a raging torrent. It's usually a ankle to knee deep trickle!!
