Earlier this month, a teenager appeared in court after a catapult was being used to fire at animals in the Fordingbridge area.
He pleaded guilty to possessing an article capable of being used to commit a summary offence under the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981.

Took this image today. The River Avon at Fordingbridge. Note the fishermen by the waters edge. In normal times they would be up to their necks in water or being pushed downstream by the current to the weir. The riverbank is by the grass. Need a lot of rain to restore the levels to normal. #NewForest

The value of on-the-ground reports: Radar suggests 0.7 mm rain fell in Fordingbridge shortly ago, but direct observations are of 'just a few spots of rain'.
A different story not far to the north I suspect, unless the radar is misbehaving to an exceptional degree!

Photos I took of the Avon at Fordingbridge in mid-August 2022. That was also a notably dry summer but the river level held up a bit better than this year.

The River Avon at Fordingbridge Hants. In 30 years I have never seen this chalk river so low. No rain in the forecast and another heatwave predicted.

People who’ve lived in the area some 40 years say they’ve never seen the River Avon drop this low at Fordingbridge.
I know I haven’t in 30.
Yet the Gov UK website reports this as “within the normal range” 🤔
