In summer there is nothing better than enjoying a delicious paella along with a refreshing "sangria", close to the beach, ideal!
On Wednesday I spent a few hours at our zoo which wasn't really a great idea for several reasons. Due to this week's school holidays the place was crowded and it was incredibly noisy. On top of that it's quite warm at the moment, 30° C and more. The animals were either lethargic or seeking refreshment like this village weaver. I think it's a young bird as it still has quite a lot of grey feathers.
It's not often you see a hippo on land during the day, but on this morning in the Masai Mara I was fortunate enough to do so.
We watched this huge beast walking through the grass to the watering hole and then gradually get positioned for a long morning drink.
Have a great Monday everyone!

I dream of paddling peacefully through the emerald pond of Botanical Garden, Frankfurt like this female Mallard / Stockente (Anas platyrhynchos)
Wir könnten gut eine Dusche von oben brauchen. Es ist so trocken hier!
We could need a shower here because it is very dry here!

Knightstone Island was acquired by the Pigott family in 1696 (they later became the Smyth-Pigotts) and they owned it until the early 19th century. It was purchased in 1820 by Mr John Howe from Bristol. He constructed the first medicinal baths there, which were rented in 1822 by Benjamin Atwell. There were hot and cold saltwater baths, a lodging house, public refreshment rooms and a reading room. At that time the island was connected to the mainland by a natural pebble ridge, which was covered at high tide.
Reverend Thomas Pruen bought Knightstone in 1824. He commissioned the construction of a causeway to the island, which was built above the high tide level, and a low pier, which was used by pleasure boats. He also built an open-air tidal swimming pool on the shore, which was replenished by seawater at every high tide. This was extended into the current Marine Lake in 1929.
