Snake Road is a very wet place, lined with canals and borrow pits — places where rock has been quarried — borrowed, if you will — and water has taken its place. The presence of all this water is one reason that makes Snake Road a hot spot for wading birds. Here we have a great white egret foraging in the shallows of a borrow pit while a moorhen glides by at the bottom right — Photo by David Sedore
