Bottisham Lock

This morning's walk took us back to Bottisham Lock to see if there were any Swallows still.   None at all.   I guess they will have started their very long flight south to warmer climes.   Instead a few Wagtails were on the pumping station.  

Even on Sundays the polo ponies get exercised.

Sometimes the ponies are cooperative when being 'caught'.   It is still something of a challenge getting four ponies through a gap in the fencing though.   All the ponies in these fields seem to accommodate being in very close proximity to one another and don't appear to upset one another when being led around and ridden.   Only one horse is saddled up and the other three are taken round at the same time on exercise.
