The beach was being well utilised with 5 volleyball courts neatly marked out, fencing and bright flags.

Amazing how quickly sporting facilities can be created without spending £20 billion on an Olympic village.

I thought volleyball was 6 v 6 but these matches were 2 v 2 which seems like a lot of chasing to me.

Congratulations to Sean and the team for preparing the facility.

Two baby ducks off for a swim.  There are also two baby coots but they’re hiding under a bush so not easily photographed.

More and more residents in England are discovering that their homes are sited within flood zones.

This doesn’t appear to be deterring these Coots which have established their nest on the tip of a boulder which, with recent rainfall, is now showing only an inch or two above the surface.

The Lido has been pumping out water in the last few days but the rate of outflow is being matched by the inflow from the stream.
