Backwell Lake summer 2026

LITTLE DUCKS IN A ROW: This is the first of a series of photos taken at Backwell Lake by computer boss Ben Parker, of The Tek Hut, more details on front page advertisement. This slideshow of six photographs taken on a Sony camera is entitled Ducks. The top photo isn't ducks in a row but swans and geese! If you can't wait for us to publish more images from Ben follow him at https://www.instagram.com/benzboatphotography

BIT OF A BUZZ: Flight of the bumble bee also at Backwell Lake from the lens of Ben Parker

FISH SUPPER: Pictured at Backwell Lake by Phil Williams and those in slideshow by Ben Parker. Otters are adorable, playful creatures that inhabit rivers, ponds, wetland habitats and even coastlines. Their powerful, streamlined bodies make them expert swimmers, and they love nothing better than to dive underwater to look for fish. They have no predators at Backwell Lake other than humans disturbing their habitat so please keep your distance, thanks

Watch the birdies with Ben Parker

ECLIPSE - NOT TOTAL: Briefly, for a few minutes, day turns to night as the Moon blocks out the Sun's light at teatime on Wednesday, August 12, 2026. We didn't get any photos of this phenomenon but got some shots of Nailsea people whose heads blocked the sun! Call them blockheads perhaps? That's Greta Howard and Phil Williams. We added a pic by former Nailsea School student Jasper White now a professional photographer. He said: "It all went dark for a moment." And then we have the video taken on The Causeway by Andy Small, Fleur CeeBee crescent photo, Nicky Bielby reflective image, Chris Perry's dazzling sunshine, added three taken by Jo Tyler in Backwell, another three taken by Carly while on holiday in Majorca with family and Nick Wall's dog wearing the special specs to protect eyes from the blinding rays - which unfortunately some people forgot...

Stalls at August farmers' market

Girlguiding Nailsea summer 2026 scarecrow trail second scarecrow trail is now in place all around Nailsea.

It runs until the penultimate Sunday, August 23.

With a scarecrow greeting people as they enter Nailsea in one direction and another 35 scarecrows dotted all over the town, the scarecrow trail is on.

These are the ones we have spotted so far.

People have been really creative in their creations and they look brilliant!

Please note: Scarecrow Number 5 is at house number 16, not 26 Scarecrow Number 16 is delayed going up

If you need to get cash out, you can do this at the Post Office and at cash points.

Thanks to everyone who shared their photos including the black and white image by Tyler Tuncer.

The final photo isn't Nailsea but from balloon festival but couldn't resist sharing.
