Lock gates closed, they were preparing to open them as I headed home. There have been quite a few boats in and out today.
It has been a glorious sunny afternoon, people are taking advantage of the weather. The butterflies are also enjoying the warm sun.
The water in the river is very high today, no sand bars visible. The depth meter at the doc entrance, just outside the dock gates, is showing a depth of 8m.
Very few birds in the dock basin, around 40-50 gulls circling overhead, a mix of black-headed, common, herring and lesser black-backed.
