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
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.
Today we visited Woodgate Valley with @SalmonStour where we were looking at fish barriers along the Bourn Brook as well as checking out possible kingfisher burrows...
