Saw a small shoal of fish that seem to be living under the bridge. Couldn't see them well enough to identify them but they ranged in size from tiny to 3 or 4 inches long. Tried to photograph them but they fled as soon as I tried to focus.
No litter in the testing area, but there were a few cans and bottles upstream of the bridge. I cleared most but because the river is blocked under the bridge the water is deep there and I couldn't get to a couple of bits.

Quite a lot of flowers from the trees in the river. Also several dogs.

Nuthatch calling, but couldn't see it. Someone passing had seen a kingfisher earlier.

Some plants lying in the river, I assume swept in from the banks.

Blockage by bridge has been cleared.
Saw a Little Egret, and a man said he saw a kingfisher recently.

Still partially blocked under the bridge upstream of test point. There's sludge coming through blockage but water is clear downstream at test area.
Autumn leaves are falling into river.

River heavily blocked with debris at bridge upstream of observation point - see images. River shallow at observation point, but clear and flowing smoothly.
