Spent a few hours this morning at Mayesbrook Park. An overcast start which soon cleared to a bright sunny and again a hot day. I reckon it has been 55 Days now with no rain locally and everywhere is looking pretty scorched and dry.

 |
| Oh for some green grass |
 |
| Our lonely Great Crested Grebe |

 |
| Grey Herons have another two youngsters |
 |
| pair of Tufted Duck have six ducklings |
 |
| and they split up, mum looking after three and dad with the other three at the other end of the lake |
