Still Flooded

Yesterday's walk took us round the lakes of Straw's Bridge once more.  With the the flood waters receding somewhat, we thought we would safe to walk round the lakes, but how wrong we were.  We made it round the largest lake - just!  The lake was still doing it's best to encroach on the paths and to that end, was keeping the lakeside trees standing in water.

At the end of the lake, we would normally have taken the path under the old railway bridge and on to Swan Lake, but as you can see from the next picture, that was not possible without wellington boots.  But, the two Coots swimming about under the bridge where the path should have been, seemed happy with things.
