Chew Valley Lake

We made a very brief visit to Chew Valley Lake, it's a large reservoir in the Mendips and is an important site for wildlife which has been dedicated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a great spot for birdwatching with over 260 recorded species.

It was cold and we couldn't let the dogs off the lead so we didn't stay long but Oscar did a lot of walking and it was the first time that we'd been able to go for a walk without having child carrying equipment (pram, backpack etc.)  We'll have to make a return visit now the weather's warmed up (a bit!)
