This image shows very dry land following two years (including the recent winter) with well below average rainfall, and a week of March daytime temperatures in excess of 20°C. The valley dips down to Hoccum Pool, which is very shallow at present due to a continuing very dry winter and spring. The fish are suffering on the surface, a passing walker told me.
