Coolant low (when engine is hot)

I remember checking a few months ago and the coolant was about mid-way up the overflow tank, but I don't remember if it was on a hot engine or not.

However, I checked today, on a hot engine, and the coolant was at the low line.

I'll have to top up no matter what, but has anyone else experienced this? I hope I'm not burning coolant............

Cold engine, coolant should be somewhere between the low mark and halfway to full.
Hot engine, coolant should be somewhere between halfway and the full mark.
This is normal.
