Extreme temperatures experienced across Nottingham last week has led to the destruction of wildlife at a Nottingham canal. A number of birds and fish were pictured lying lifeless in the Lady Bay section of Grantham Canal.
Pictures from the canal show the dried up part of the land as well as numerous dead birds. A statement from Canal & River Trust stated that the extreme temperatures coupled with "prolonged dry weather" has caused low water levels at Lady Bay.
The Nottingham end of the canal has been known to suffer with low water levels during this time of the year as the stretch from Cotgrave to Lady Bay has only one significant source of water supply. Contractors will be on site this week to remove the dead carcasses.
