		By 1959 the capacity of the reservoir was 367 million gallons and in that year the Inspecting Engineer considered that the overspill capacity of the reservoir was not sufficient relevant to its catchment.
		The reservoir is a good place for seeing the swimming abilities of the stoat, which has been seen swimming across the feeder, across one of the feeding streams, at the edge of the reservoir and, once, fifty yards across one of the bays.
		Of the swans the presence of mute swans at the reservoir became a rare occurrence after the mid-1970's and no doubt this decline was attributable to the considerable overall decline in the numbers of this species generally in the county from about that time.

		To begin with, we couldn't see much of the reservoir, as the footpath descended in front of the dam and followed the course of the river below it for a while.
		I took photos and we continued to climb uphill slightly away from the reservoir and then across several fields to join a small lane down to the hamlet of Stockwell Heath.
		This is just a small collection of houses around quite a large village pond, which would have been picuresque were it not clogged and choked with weed.
