Usually living in flocks and feeding together, these #Birds are sociable creatures. They prefer to occupy shallow, slow-moving water, such as canals, reservoirs and rivers 💧 Can you name this species? 🤔 Guess below 👇 We’d love to see your photos too!

The Canal and River Trust who maintain and manage our canal system are carrying out some work on one of our local lock flights. #lifesbetterbywater #wintermaintanance #canalengineering

It was great to get together, much fun had by all!

A VERY long shot…but if anyone was on flight BA177 from Heathrow to JFK yesterday (Tues 4 April) at 1.10pm and landing at 3.30pm and found this little fella, there’s a distraught little boy who would love to be reunited with him. Get in touch if you can help. Thanks

A great new video by the trust on working a lock.

Please raise side fenders when cruising and especially in locks! Not only could you get hung up/wedged in a lock but the fenders that come off frequently foul gates and paddles putting the lock out of action and inconveniencing you and other boaters. Thank you.
