Overnight we had frequent showers of rain.
Morning: Watched as steam narrowboat President and butty Kildare set off. Had a leisurely breakfast brought about by the rain pouring down. Spotted a Stork in a field alongside the canal. Plenty of Kingfishers observed.
Afternoon: The five Knowle Locks (41'10'') made a welcome change from the narrow locks we had been getting used to. Plenty of water available here as the lock gates were over topping. Stopped for a late lunch at the Black Buoy Inn, then the rain started which convinced us to stay for the night.
Evening: Time for some TV after a trip to the pub to register our arrival and a beer.

Birds: House Sparrow, Carrion Crow, Rook, Magpie, Mallard, Black Headed Gull, Canadian Goose, Coot, Waterhen, Kingfisher, Grey Heron, Wood Pigeon, Kestrel, Herring Gull, Lesser Black Backed Gull, Greater Black Backed Gull, Black Headed Gull, Common Tern, Swallow and Swift the highlight being a Stork.
