The Radley Lakes Trust organised a community event with cakes, nature activities, and music at Radley Lakes. I left my bike in good company and looked around.

The Abingdon Community Choir sang a song written specially by Helen Eccleston. It began:
Come and spend a while down by the Lake
with a view to make you smile down by the Lake
…

The choir were followed by Trev Williams by the Lake.

The Radley Lakes Trust carried out a survey at their information stall by the Lake.

The Thrupp Lake cake stall also sold ice lollies on this hot afternoon.

The sun was out, and the blue sky was reflected in Thrupp Lake.

Nature activities by the Lake included plant identification with David Guyoncourt

and bird watching through a telescope with Ian Elkins

and Graham Bateman on the lookout for mini beasts.
