When we set off at 9:35 the weather was much the same as it had been since the heatwave ended. The pictures here show different views of some of the sights described on our way downstream. We moored above King's Sutton Lock at lunchtime.

Red Kite in a tree watching the haymaking

Our most memorable experience today was watching a farmer on a tractor haymaking.  Unlike the flock of seagulls that often follow the tractors, this time it was a flock of 10 red kites, one of which sat in a tree watching the activitity.
