Wildlife in Valley Road Park
I was very surprised to find a Little Egret and a pair of Teal (note the green flash of the male top left) in what is still very much an urban environment.

Valley Road Water Meadow
Created by diverting the Day Brook to a meandering course with small ponds in around 2008 as a flood alleviation scheme, the area has developed more of a wetland ecology with extensive reed-beds. The intention of attracting more diverse wildlife, as indicated on the board, has however been fulfilled.

Wetlands in Valley Park
The path follows the original line of the Day Brook which was diverted into a meandering course, through what was intended as a water meadow, as flood alleviation measures. It has developed more of a wetland ecology since.

Valley Road Park Flood Plain, Nottingham NG5
This long, thin, sausage-shaped park is known as Day Brook Recreation Ground at its other end. Here, at its Mansfield Road end it is called Valley Road Park. Nonetheless the footpath, seen here passing the Day Brook flood plain (or flood fringe), is actually an almost continuous path between the Valley Rd/Mansfield Rd junction entrance and its Edwards Lane exit. Valley Road (the A6514) runs behind the tree line directly ahead.

The Day Brook in Valley Road Park
This section was converted from grassland to a water meadow in around 2008 as a flood alleviation measure. Previously the brook ran in a narrow straight channel along the line of the hedge to the left. The structure in the foreground previously acted to reduce flow to some extent.
