Sabrina Dreaming

Many rivers have sacred personifications. For the River Severn, this is Sabrina, or Hafren in Welsh. Project linked to Antony Lyons' creative residency @CCRI_UK

As we move towards the peak of silver eel migration and the new moon dark, @ESBGroup continue to abstract an astonishing 96% of the flow in the Lower River Shannon SAC towards their hydroelectric station. There is no downstream fish pass for critically endangered silver #eels.

The thing about poetry is you have to keep doing it.
People have to keep making it.
The old stuff is no use
Once it’s old.
It comes out of the instant
And lasts for an instant.
Take it now
Quickly
Without water.
There!
Tomorrow there’ll be something else.
Margaret Tait, Now, 1958

In 1927, 21 year old Kathleen Thomas became the first person to successfully swim the #Bristol Channel between England and Wales. The distance across the water was 11 miles but the tidal pull made her passage more than 22 miles. She completed her feat in just 7 hours & 20 minutes

Slippery challenge: can the European eel be saved from oblivion? https://t.co/Vo8ZnDfT76

[Places of Poetry @placesofpoetry]

Love these images of water in river estuaries on the Places of Poetry map. Drayton describes Severn: 'And turning lastlie Sea, resignes unto the Maine / What soveraigntie her selfie but latelie did retaine.'
(Pin a poem on an estuary? Get ready: we launch for action on 31 May.)

European eels - a miracle of migration yet one of most trafficked species on Earth. Illegal trade in 300-350 million eels is worth $3 billion a year. My @WildlifeMag feature with thx to @SomersetWT @EelGroup @WestcountryRT @EnvAgency

"...the sinuous fluidity of the form of the shingle spit of Orford Ness is observable even within our short human time-frames. In a single generation, major re-shaping and disturbance occurs..." https://t.co/tynwjar6f4 #SensitiveChaos #LimboLandscapeLab @Future_Heritage #Flow

Some wonderful footage of the River Avon from 116 years ago, plus Bristol trams and images of the Pilot cutters moored at Pill - well worth nine minutes of your time ! Thanks @BFI for saving this for everyone #lovebristolharbour https://t.co/rbQMrhWCS9
