It is so depressing reading about the state of our rivers with sewerage being regularly released into them. Add to that the cocktail of run off of pesticides , farming effluent and they are in a mess. You have to say privatisation hasn’t done us much good unless you are a shareholder in a water company. The River Wye not that far away is not in a good state. We hear fairly weasel words from our government about what the money they have invested. It is scandalous what has been happening!

On the bright side it has been another super day, with blue skies and sunshine. Hope to get out looking for summer migrants in the next few days. I did see my first Swallow last week. It has been great hearing Skylarks when I have been out on rides over the last week.
