Birds have quickly moved back into Mooragh Lake in Ramsey following its draining.
The town's commissioners and Manx Wildlife Trust have been carrying out a project to see whether letting the water level change with the seasons can help wildlife.

Several species, including red-listed Oystercatchers and Redshank, have already been spotted using the lake.
