Floods

Sadly Martin Mere was affected by the recent floods.  Some areas had to be closed off completely.

Other paths were just passable, like here, the seat to the right of the photo is where I usually sit to watch the black swans.

The beaver enclosure with their lodge in the centre at the back of the pond.

And even our garden did not escape the rain water, we couldn't use our back door for a few days.
