Keep safe out there folks. The river is wild right now!
This is the River Ouse in St Ives today.
Across Cambridgeshire we are experiencing a lot of flooding, so we have pulled together some useful link links for further information or should you need help and support.

Rather magical encounter with a pair of Otters at Priory Country park, Bedford. Couldn’t work out what was hissing at me, then spotted them, about ten feet away. The dogs just sat there, dumbstruck by these strange creatures! Isn’t nature brilliant….
Important thread asking where is the water for the growth of Cambridge coming from?

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 😀

Great article on Nicola Crockford's local river snorkelling, greatouseriverstrust.org/new…
It was fascinating hearing about @numenini’s underwater river explorations. Makes you see the river in a totally different light. Fantastic photos & wildlife like you’d never imagine! greatouseriverstrust.org/new…

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

The Riverfly Monitoring Initiative (RMI) has been pioneered by the Riverfly Partnership to provide a standardised monitoring technique which groups use to detect any perturbations in river water quality.

In votes just now, the House of Lords said NO to Government plans to…
❌Scrap #NutrientNeutrality rules
❌Give itself powers to further amend protections without proper security.
A massive thanks to the peers, orgs & people who have stood up for rivers & good policy making 🙏

Back in River Thet by Cloverfield Water Meadows for lovely cooling (18.5°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 🧵1/12
River Thet has cooled back to 6.7°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 #Norfolk🧵1/5
