We are so excited to be able to share with you some drone pictures taken by Leanne Gwilliam. They bring Fruitfields, our beautiful orchards and surrounds to life. If you look closely with this bird’s eye view, you can see the Lickey Hills to the west and Birmingham to the north, as well as our local reservoirs and surrounding countryside.
We were impressed by the quality of the photographs and the stability of the drone in the air. We were expecting there to be camera shake and for blurred images to be produced. You’ll see we were extremely lucky with the still, dry, clear conditions producing visibility of over 20 miles. It’s also a moment in time with the Canal & River Trust access track being visible across to Upper Bittell Reservoir, which has only been drained twice in its ninety year history. This time it is to allow repairs to the valve at the bottom of the dam wall.
