Lymington Quay on the Beaulieu River on the edge of the New Forest hints at its fishing past but now meets up with the modern leisure sailing world.

Faces of the forest.
The number of animals killed on New Forest roads has shown a downward trend following high-profile safety campaigns in recent years. Although in 2023 there were 92 accidents involving animals up by 10 in 2022. I saw a sign up last week saying 52 animals have been killed on the Forest roads to date this year.

The weather this December so far has been very poor. I had several very damp walks where I took no pictures.We have another weather warning today with a storm due tonight. After rain all last night a brightish morning gave a few hours respite at Meon Shore and Titchfield Haven and a bit of bird watching. With the weather warning the Haven is planning to be closing to visitors this weekend.
These Sanderling and lone Black-headed Gull are holding on as long as they can to a little island on the shore as the tide comes in.
