I passed people having bbq's in the nature reserve today - it's been dry for weeks & very hot today. It takes a small spark & large areas of woodland that took decades to grow are gone.

2 big fires in a week. The rangers told me that fire brigade already attending an incident in northern sector of the park.

Dropping glass bottles may seem innocuous, but if the sun catches the right angle, you've got a magnifying glass and a possible fire.

Please be considerate #suttonpark #suttonnaturereserve

Managed to squeeze in a gentle ride before sunset, easy workout after a big push yesterday.

Quiet in the park at this time, ducks snoozing (until I went past on the bike and woke them up). Good place for a rest

One of my stops yesterday - I couldn't capture the range of butterflies on a smartphone well so here's some sunny landscape instead.
