  • A 'gun' grouse shooting in Nidderdale, North Yorkshire, UK. Driven grouse shooting is a field sport of the UK, popular because it provides a challenge due to the rapid flight of the grouse. The grouse shooting season extends from 12 August, often called the "Glorious Twelfth", to 10 December each year. The name 'driven grouse shooting' refers to the way in which the grouse are driven towards the hunters (termed 'guns') by beaters. A shooting party usually includes 8-10 guns who stand in a line in the butts - hides for shooting spaced some 20-30 m apart, screened by a turf or stone wall and usually sunken into the ground to minimise their profile - to shoot the grouse in flight.

  • Portrait of Bill Deeley, a member of the Serpentine Swimming Club, Hyde Park, London, UK. The Serpentine Lake is situated in Hyde Park, London’s largest central open space. The Serpentine Swimming Club was formed in 1864 ‘to promote the healthful habit of bathing in open water throughout the year’.  Its headquarters were beneath an old elm tree on the south side of the lake, a wooden bench for clothing being the only facility.  At this time London was undergoing rapid expansion and Hyde Park was now in the centre of a densely populated built up area and provided a place of relaxation to its urbanised masses. Now, the club has its own (somewhat spartan) changing facilities and members are  permitted by the Royal Parks to swim in the lake any morning before 09:30.  They race every Saturday morning throughout the year, regardless of the weather.
