Wyming Brook - Autumn
I haven't been out to anywhere like this location since my little slip in April & snapping my Femur.
Decided it was time to try again
Once set aside for the exclusive use of the nobility when it was part of the hunting and hawking grounds of Rivelin Chase. Wyming Brook’s babbling streams, mossy crags and sweet smelling pines are protected today as a valuable home to wildlife.
The difference now is that we can all enjoy this little bit of wilderness on the western edge of Sheffield, with easy strolls by the streams or higher, rockier routes with dramatic views of the Rivelin reservoirs and the city beyond.
Part of the Eastern Moors Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), there is an abundance of wildlife at this nature reserve, including the common lutestring and northern spinach moths. It is also home to many kinds of birds, from pine seed eating crossbills to the brown and white dipper which forages for aquatic insects along the fast flowing streams. Other notable summer migrant bird species that can be observed on the reserve include bullfinch and goldcrest, spotted flycatcher, wood warblers and pied flycatchers..
