12 days ago now my @O2 phone was hacked. I can’t make or receive calls. Apparently their fraud team are dealing with it but they are too busy to keep me informed. Please use email or WhatsApp for now.

A pair of adult Atlantic salmon complete their lifecycle. The female may be lucky enough to return in a couple of years as a repeat spawner. The ‘precocious’ parr may fertilise some eggs now, go to sea and then do the same as an adult in a couple of years time. Amazing fish 🙂👍

Please share this. Yet another example of blatant river abuse by @SouthernWater - and the excellent work @FishLegal_ are doing to stop it. 🙏🙏#handsoffflow @AST_Salmon

This time the Test - one of the world’s most iconic chalk streams - to be plundered by @SouthernWater to make up for negligent under-investment in its infrastructure over the years

This feels like quite a big moment. From my own experience of spending months examining water company data (with plenty of help!) it appeared that illegal dumping of sewage was widespread & regular. It seems the E.A. is now arriving at the same conclusion. theguardian.com/environment/…

Sewage releases, bore holes for HS2 and now bentonite slurry from HS2 activity leaks into the aquifers of The River Chess. It's unacceptable to treat our globally renowned #chalkstreams like this. @feargal_sharkey #HS2 @RiverChess #pollution #minimiseourhumanfootprint
