If we're serious about making London's rivers healthier, even swimmable, we have miles to go.

Brilliant people like @paulpowlesland are leading the way - while @EnvAgency wants to prosecute him.

The EA must support this work instead, by at least granting his team a permit.

@SueBryan2 Congrats Sue, it's the only British and Irish breeder that I haven't seen yet in the British Isles. Ironically it is to be found across Northern Europe, Siberia to Mongolia and Japan.

@CleySpy Congratulations all round. Enjoy the new horizons Suzanne, everyone. May you go from strength to strength ATB

@markrabailey Crikey, time flies! I really enjoyed that day (obviously), many thanks for the reminder @markrabailey, a nice welcome back : from leading the (again very successful) #WildWings Ladakh Snow Leopard and Pallas's Cat tour, getting a lifer this year with #BlackneckedCranes!

@AllanConlin Walked 10miles along Puerto Madryn seafront in the hope of finding my lifer Olrog's last month. You could be a bit more appreciate of this highly localized endemic @AllanConlin 🤗

Useful composite for anyone interested in looking through Cory's for Scopoli's. Thks for posting @dhitchcox

[Doug Hitchcox @dhitchcox]

We looked closely for Scopoli’s Shearwaters on the Cashes Ledge (Maine) trip on Saturday, but couldn’t find any. Here’s a fun composite of a Cory’s banking, showing how dark (or light) p10 can look as the sun hits it.
