Rather magical encounter with a pair of Otters at Priory Country park, Bedford. Couldnāt work out what was hissing at me, then spotted them, about ten feet away. The dogs just sat there, dumbstruck by these strange creatures! Isnāt nature brilliantā¦.

Important thread asking where is the water for the growth of Cambridge coming from?
1/ Michael Gove visited Cambridge today, for the first time since announcing plans to āturbochargeā Cambridge, and build up to 250k new homes by 2040. The Key challenge remains, where is the water coming from - a thread.

We have been working hard with partners and volunteer groups to free the Bedford Ouse from Pennywort. Floating pennywort is an invasive aquatic plant which forms dense mats that clog up rivers. As you can see by the pics, our hard work has paid off š

Honoured that @greatousert wanted to find out about my river snorkelling in the Great Ouse catchment, which began July 2020, a silver lining of the lockdown. It's led to many adventures https://t.co/8350Os9yz4 (incl. with @BBCLookEast; photo clipped from https://t.co/cJA9JKhuJC).

Back in River Thet by Cloverfield Water Meadows for lovely cooling (18.5Ā°C) swim on last day of heatwave (28.0). Yet as ever, the visibility in the Thet seems the poorest of the Norfolk chalk streams, for reasons I don't understand. But Watercress & Arrowhead grow. #MySwim š§µ1/12
River Thet has cooled back to 6.7Ā°C so in 1km swim up by Cloverfield Estate, Thetford, only fish I saw were 2 Stone Loaches & a shoal of Minnows hiding under a mat of Alder catkins & then, when I swam thro' it, under me! Lots Great Ram's-Horn shells. #Chalkstreams #Norfolkš§µ1/5
