We took our time through the first two locks and Thomas was getting a lesson by the lockkeepers on how open the paddles on a fast flowing river. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8831VNGo59Bj1tGAElsR681_zMY6FkTYJ8-7Dh0Xw4P_KZ7pyQdHQnDa5hW5lCmWjnWgJGcDXpEtZgsbl0OIf9KLdiRvGhG2PtyAydHH63gGlz4e5a3EvooPXoSc0USvCCAuS/s320/P1040338.JPG)
We then got to Tadpole bridge and we saw loads of swans, hundreds in fact, along the way.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH5RQwPBtBe663c0h6gOtsIFht8sdEKl2HUqGL0FiSKXKPO4iyTO-_a6nYVWOn-OIf8xtOPrTqJHe7r3vVjdj5ImFzloDyCXaTfCXj7f5nder7Cav2xRt5YQY07aoCey9Xkr8c/s320/P1040350.JPG)
At one lock we saw four ducklings taking there first flight as they had to jump in from about eight feet. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibSIpeIdhE8Zs6awwFMDVlFf-IjBCR_vD0pxa8nE2SFx5EPQNOQDjwddgPI_9EMvbPMvcBf671Oh9FykTGlcrRq4MN4IizMKv61UadY3Wd0onI61HeoghwEWdnF1EnLVqEW8UH/s320/P1040339.JPG)
We made it back to Newbridge as we knew we had a free mooring here in between the bushes again.
Thomas and Del then collected insects and took some photos in the warm evening air, until dinner was ready.
