On Sunday the main sewer burst again in our village, swamping the river and killing every fish. The good thing? Local people called our citizen science team and we raised the alarm. Southern Water fixed the breach. But it KEEPS HAPPENING.

It was me, the blackbirds, wrens and robins at 4.15am today but as the sun touched the treetops we were joined by song thrush, tits, chaffinch, goldfinch and even a goldcrest. I didn’t mean to be awake for the dawn chorus but what a glorious start to the day #dawnchorus #sussex #birds #naturewriting

Ten days exploring rivers of the north, and I’m heading home. And this, the view from the train as I left #BerwickonTweed was the perfect ending #rivertweed #exhaustedbuthappy

In #Leeds the river Aire was buried right under the main station, in the Dark Arches. I couldn’t quite believe it, but here it is. Poor river. #aire #riverjourney

Soul music from the Ashdown Forest. One small stream carrying the melt down to the Medway below, and I’m happy #naturewriting #ashdownforest
