Dave stands on a nature reserve

My soul food

Dave, Little Woolden Moss, Manchester

For Dave, the mosslands are not only a place to watch and record birds, but evoke childhood memories of watching wildlife with his father. Only ten miles away from Greater Manchester, he’s always amazed at how peaceful it is. His soul finds nourishment in the landscape.

Suburban nature reserves are places of tranquility to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.
