@Exoticca please can you get in touch with our group in Cape Town and advise us how we will be travelling to victoria falls after BA flights were cancelled today.

@AJPhillipson @ortambo_int @HealthZA @adamwbye @FCDOGovUK @Airports_ZA Apologies, we have been in transit all day. I have followed you. 👍

@Rewildmidlands @ortambo_int @HealthZA @adamwbye @FCDOGovUK @Airports_ZA Tracey, pl can you follow me back so I can message you?

The airport operations team was deployed this morning to assist Port Health, operated by the @HealthZA, to assist in queue management. @Ortambo_int as a partner to Port Health will continue to monitor and aid in these instances. Our apologies for any frustration caused.

@Cloe323391042 @AJPhillipson @ortambo_int @HealthZA @adamwbye @FCDOGovUK @Airports_ZA Well done Claire. I tried but they just would not accept our UK documents. We have been in transit all day to get to Kruger but due back at the airport in 3 days for flight to Cape Town so hoping it is all sorted by then 🤞🏻

Now is the best time of year to create a wildflower meadow for bees in your garden. 🏡Mow the lawn 🖐️Press wildflower seeds in to patches of bare ground ⌛️Wait and watch nature create a wildflower meadow Will you help #savebees ? plantlife.org.uk/uk/discover-wi…

Great work #TeamEA. This type of work is so effective, balancing risk with need to keep river habitat features in place on a recovering river to support fish and wildlife. The Tame was once dead to life but not anymore. Grayling, barbel, eel, pike, bullhead. It supports them all.

@EnvAgencyMids @chalmers_m Brilliant work.

This large willow tree was spanning the River Tame near Kingsbury #Warwickshire just upstream of a road bridge. We’ve cut it back before it detaches & blocks the bridge but we've left the base & lower limbs in the river so it can regrow, protect the bank & give cover for #fish

It's a tricky balance between ensuring adequate capacity for base flows whilst retaining important woody debris in the channel. Careful and selective thinning happening today thanks to @Boreal_Trees @EnvAgencyMids

Wow!

The heavy rain last week put our newly re-profiled banks to the test. Here we see the bank in low and high flows. The sloped bank before the reeds is acting as a backwater and fish refuge in the higher flows.

Bearded Vulture, unconcerned by the birders traffic and sugar beet harvesting going on around it.

Showing well

4K(13) is just about to cross into Northern Senegal! Very close now 🦅

What a day today was! Job interview in the morning followed by a Lammergeier twitch in the afternoon and then getting home to receive a phone call to say I'd got the job! It must be time for a beer to celebrate!!

Why road verges are important habitats for wildflowers and animals Ace long read on #RoadVerges from @yvonneds & Lisa Hendry for @NHM_London > nhm.ac.uk/discover/why-r… @katefpetty @DrTrevorDines

Gross picture alert ! It’s #Unblocktober- an awareness month to improve the health of our drains, sewers and water courses. Look at this blockage found in Coleshill- how did the golf balls get in there? To avoid blockages, please only flush pee, poo and toilet paper!
