For the last 505 hours a Southern Water outfall has been feeding into the Itchen just north of Winchester city.
***someone has shared photos of dead fish near Twyford, Winchester with the local Green Party. This is just getting worse 😢😡

This area is a site of preservation for chalkstream wildlife. So well hidden, the site of the outfall is looking difficult to reach.

If anyone knows anyone near the Winchester area who could genuinely be of assistance (expereince or means to get to hard to reach waterways) could they get in touch with the Winchester Green Party?

A boost would be great, if anyone's feeling charitable.

Oedemera nobilis, thick legged flower beetle. Idk they looked like rainbow pantaloons to me.

Little dusk walk end. The scent of hay and warm riverside vegetation. The drooping heads of comfrey and tall grass gone to seed all twisted together with bindweed revelling in its white flowered glory.
