Record sewage spills into England rivers and seas in 2023 bbc.in/4abP1v9

🚨 This is not a drill! The first peregrine falcon egg has arrived in the nest on our Newton building 🦅🥚 Do you think we’ll see another egg soon? 👀 You can watch the live camera here 👉 bit.ly/40nTLci 👈 Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust

Giulio Biondi Tim Sykes @riversandpeople.bsky.social ventured deep into nooks and crannies across the South Downs to bother aquatic invertebrates lurking in our hidden headwaters, then @jamalk_wildlife Dr Kieran Gething found the story in the data: specialist species galore! Great to see this out 🙌🍻

For the first time in 140 years, the Hamble Brook has a new wetland thanks to @Chilternstreams.  “We hope this will pave the way for similar restoration projects throughout the wider Chilterns landscape,” said Elaine King. Read more ⬇️ chilterns.org.uk/news/revitalis… 📸 𝙃𝙚𝙙𝙡𝙚𝙮 𝙏𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙣𝙚

Our Project Manager Rupert recently led a cold but enthusiastic group visit to our River Og realignment project. #meanders #chalkstream

@DrEllie_Mackay Action for the River Kennet (ARK) Riverfly Partnership #Podcast: We promised a photo of a cased caddisfly from the river Kennet. This larva has used little bits of gravel to make its case. There are ~200 species of cased caddis. If water quality goes down, numbers of caddis and other riverflies will plummet.

0ur River Og river and floodplain restoration project. We were recently joined by Tim Sykes, a winterbourne expert from the Environment Agency & Rob Collier (Nottingham University), who is collecting samples as part of his PhD study on winterbourne restoration & invertebrates.

Very happy to contribute to Robert Ian Collier Tim Sykes @riversandpeople.bsky.social research documenting aquatic and terrestrial invertebrate community responses to this wonderful example of winterbourne restoration The RRC. Nice work Action for the River Kennet (ARK)!

Amazing news!🥳 We've secured £350k from The National Lottery Heritage Fund to develop Not Bourne Yesterday; a project that will restore Chilterns chalk streams & connect with communities through art, archaeology, citizen science & habitat restoration.🫶 bit.ly/4g5S9wj #NationalLottery

How does human activity interact with drought in chalk streams? New paper by me, Rachel Stubbington, Judy England et al. out in Journal of Applied Ecology ➡️ Poorer water quality and abstraction exacerbate drought impacts on invertebrate communities 🐌🪳🪱

The Small Streams Network dry-phase plant survey fieldwork is done! Despite following England’s wettest 18 months on record 🌧, we found 36 dry sites 😎.

Billy Kane's🤘↙ last day. Thanks Billy, George Amisi & other Dept of Biosciences, Nottingham Trent University CIEEM-accredited BSc Environmental Biology students & graduates who contributed to our research over summer. Time to release these skilled early-career freshwater ecologists 🔬🐛💧into the wild!💪
