Lock gates closed.
Feeling much warmer today without the strong, gusty winds of the last few days.
It has been a rare privilege to watch the terns fishing in the dock basin this summer, at times just a few metres away. It's not often one gets such a close look.
The gulls in the dock basin are almost invariably black-headed gulls. The other gulls fly and circle overhead, but land there only occasionally, usually when the gates are open.
