Just ten days ago I took a picture of a coots nest below Abingdon Bridge, with six baby coots. Today there were two adult birds sitting on the nest, with no babies in sight. What happened?

The Herald had a couple of Abingdon Bridge stories this week. The Old Gaol development are advertising three restaurants ‘To Let.’

And Planning application P15/V1255/FUL has been submitted at the end of May so that The Boat Centre  on Nags Head Island, now owned by Salter Steamers, would relocate the chandlery into the old workshop, and with minor remodeling, make a cafe from the old chandlery.

This evening three swimmers, emulating David Walliams, swam under Abingdon Bridge.

There were plenty of people on the other side of Nags Head Island, at The Nags Head, to take pictures.

The Upper Reaches Hotel, with its large riverside carpark has not been in the news, but there are rumours that it could be about to see changes.
