Climate change makes wetter winters & increased surface water and the building of new homes in areas adds extra flow pressure onto the works resulting in continual sewerage leaks like these into our chalk streams and rivers where children play and wildlife is supposed to thrive😔

Had a lovely walk in Chess Valley yesterday but the river water smell was clearly not as it should be. If you are walking there, keep your kids, dogs and yourselves out of the water. No more netting sticklebacks!

Happy #NationalDolphinDay! 🐬💙

Dolphins are incredible creatures:
🐬 They can live to be 50 years old
🐬 They can dive up to 1000 ft
🐬 Some can swim at 20 mph
🐬 They don’t chew their food, they swallow it whole!
🐬 They give themselves names & develop individual whistles

That is so beautiful!

The call to prevent micro thread shedding. We just signed the @mcsuk @DeborahMeaden petition against micro threads being dispersed into our seas via our washing machines. Can you help too?

In a world preoccupied by this terrible virus, don't forget to teach your children to look after their planet. THE GREEN FAIRY AND THE LOST DOG by @DaisyJoBear1 is a lovely introduction to recycling and the environment for small children. Watch and listen

Sad that Hand Sanitizer & Face Masks are replacing Straws on the beach.
Balloons never seem out of fashion & "Nappies" are moving up League table.
I did find some nice bits including a "Smallspotted Catshark" egg case.
