Bevy of Swans, HFF

Swans swim and cows graze along The King's Sedgemoor Drain on the Somerset levels, the Polden Hills form the backdrop,

Water level's up, judging by the flooded grasses!

4 years ago.

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to slgwv ^club

Water levels are maintained at this level as it stops the land drying out but they can be lowered very quickly, the whole area is at or below sea level as is kept usable by a large network of rivers, rhynes and ditches.
