Sprotbrough Flash Nature Reserve

                      
Two very different oil paintings of the view of St Mary's Church in Sprotbrough village from Heron hide on the nature reserve. The first  has all the glorious
colours of Autumn, the second the misty  early morning frosts of  winter.

A painting of some of the steps on the path which take the walker from the  riverside and up  through the woodland  at the Cadeby end of the reserve.









   
Both Heron hide and Kingfisher hide can be accessed just off the Trans Penine Trail
where it passes between Sprotbrough Flash nature reserve and the River Don in the Don Gorge.

 Sprotbrough  Flash is made up of diverse habitats that include open water, woodland and grassland. The River Don runs alongside the reserve and the
Trans - Pennine Trail which extends through the gorge running between the river and the reserve.
Birds which breed on the reserve include
great crested grebe, gadwall reed warbler, mallare and swans. Around 112 species of birds are recorded annually.
