We've partnered with @WTBBC & @EnvAgency to improve 150 hectares of land surrounding our watercourses (Bourn, Stonehouse & Callow Brook, the River Rea & the River Tame!) Delighted to be part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (@EU_Commission). #DayofActionforRivers

@EcoRecording @BhamCityCouncil @EnvAgencyMids The surveys use the kick-sampling methodology originally developed for the FIN project!

[EcoRecord @EcoRecording]

A 2nd day of surveying as part of the #ERDF funded #Birmingham #NaturalRivers project with @BhamCityCouncil & @EnvAgencyMids - surveying the Bourn Brook in Harborne.

Nice finds included cased caddisfly larva, freshwater limpets and two species of fish.
