Sunnyhurst Hey and Earnsdale Reservoirs are adjacent reservoirs situated on the north-western edge of Darwen Moor, some 1.5 km west of Darwen town centre. Earnsdale Reservoir was constructed in 1863 and impounds 433Ml with a 300 m long, 24 m high embankment.. The site is used by the Darwen Anglers Association. The reservoir offers excellent bank fishing, close to Sunnyhurst wood, which is a beautiful 85 acer wooded valley and is a beautiful location for family walks and picnics.

Nice spot and quite a bit of air traffic!

Yeah, they worried me for a few seconds - but all was well...

Beautiful footage.   

Nice work. Loved the cloud reflections in the water. And as bit of competition for airspace from the birds

For a place with not a lot there (if  you know what I mean) it turned out better than expected.

Often, the aerial views are more interesting than those from the ground

Lovely aerial views.    Really nice reflections off the water.  Looks like a lot of water fowl in that area.

Thanks gents.

Rich - there were quite a few canada geese there too, but I left that segment out.
