June 21, 2025,Grafham Water loop - Jun 25

Where to go when it's 32 degrees outside? Water or forest. Grafham has both. We found a spot to park the car at point A.

We had been here last year just for a loop around the lake. This time, we took the paths that go to the bird hide and spent time listening to and seeing them.
