April 30, 2025, Godmanchester Nature Reserve - Wildlife Sanctuary, Houghton Meadows loop from Banks End -Apr 25

We've gone on this route several times and have never been disappointed. We took full advantage of this beautiful summer day at the end of April. Being surrounded by wildlife, listening to the chorus of seagulls, geese, and various other birds singing together at sunset while sitting by the edge of the lake creates a feeling that makes you never want to leave. That's exactly what we experienced today. I highly recommend this place to anyone who can get here, except in wet weather.
