A big thank you to all our #volunteer Diglis Island Guides, who welcomed 2,000 visitors to the fish pass in May and surpassed 10,000 visitors last week. We couldn't do it without your constant support #VolunteerByWater #VolunteersWeek canalrivertrust.org.uk/places-to-visi… Unlocking the Severn

This #VolunteersWeek we’d like to say a HUGE thank you to our wonderful volunteers. Our waterways need many hands to help look after them, and these wonderful people assist in making them a positive place for local communities and wildlife to enjoy #VolunteerByWater

May is already a special month as we celebrate the #SevernShadRun , so it is very fitting that we also reached a big milestone today, at the end of May. We welcomed our 10,000th visitor to #Diglis today! 🥳🎆 Here’s to many more memories made at the fish pass. 🐟

In the field last week, kingfishers flashing, mayflies dancing, fish jumping, green woodpeckers laughing...(OK hard work too cf. ALT)! #KnowledgeExchange success from Canal & River Trust Diglis Fish Pass evident from local public discussing eDNA and shad with me [@clareycollins]🥰

With the recession in river levels Env Agency Midlands #FisheriesOfficers have been doing the rounds to check flood areas for stranded fish.
Today in #Worcester on the racecourse they rescued 31 #pike , #carp , #perch plus many small #dace , #chub & #bleak returned safely to the river.

Looking back through pics on my phone and found this video from the16/05/22. Only a middling tide, but I had the world to myself. Great to see the Bore form a barrel on the Church Rock. I like to think lots of shad, elvers and salmon were hitching a ride! ⁦Unlocking the Severn⁩
