The River Thames by Ali's Pond.

Ali's Pond Local Nature Reserve (or just Ali's Pond[1]) is, a Local Nature Reserve close to the village of Sonning on the Berkshire bank of the River Thames in southern England.[2][3][4]

Located at the foot of Sonning Hill, the reserve was established in 1997 by Alastair Driver (hence the name) from Sonning, who acts as the warden.[5] The area is laid out with paths and large ponds.[6]

The UK headquarters of two major software companies, Microsoft and Oracle Corporation are located close to the reserve on the Thames Valley Park business park.
