This is the outfall of a drain into the river Gwenfro. A beautiful river that goes through the middle of Wrexham.
Unfortunately, it's also a pathway of pollution into the river.
Here is a 🧵about a drain!
Yellow Wagtails this afternoon at Cors Ddyga. Some variation in facial markings here so 3 distict birds I think! Although the one facing right has a slightly different facial markings so maybe a 4th bird? @AngBirdNews
Had a family trip to @RSPB_BurtonMere this afternoon and found this Spotted Redshank on the border pool along with 2 Ruff and a Common Sand. Dozens of Avocets on the reserve too was nice to see!
Sunset at Cors Ddyga last night. About 300 Golden Plover roosting on the scrape and around 16 Little Egrets feeding then going to roost #sunsetphotography
One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind!
#WalesPeatlandAction a step at a time for #HighNatureLowCarbon.
Thanks Rob Bacon on site for sight of this continuous contour bund on a ridge, surrounded by a tapestry of restoration action at Llyn Du @WelshGovernment land.
🎉 Happy #WorldWetlandsDay! 🎉
This year's theme underscores how all aspects of human wellbeing are tied to the health of the world’s wetlands. It calls on each of us to value and protect our wetlands. Every wetland matters. Every effort counts.

We protected 53 #Curlew nests with temporary electric fencing in 2023, inc 15 at our project area in Conwy. It worked well. 86% of eggs in our fenced nests here in Wales hatched successfully. curlewlife.org/2023/11/curlew… 📷Jake Stephen
We have just recorded our highest phosphate levels ever at Bredwardine Bridge: 0.29 ppm, more than 4 times the target set by the @EnvAgency for this section of this fragile and failing river. With the river in spate, the sheer volume of nutrients this represents is frightening.
A few hours down Bangor Harbour and this Jack Snipe was the highlight. Found by @marcbuzzard. Thanks for putting me on to it & was nice meeting you today!
Whoopers being forced off these bogs. Just days ago, we posted where 80 Whoopers were on this rewet bog. These 2 swans this morning quickly discovered that such habitats have now been abolished, thanks to inappropriate & outdated pumping activities of a semi-state. Inexcusable.
A decision last week by @WelshGovernment to ditch a proposal for a licence for manure spreading has gone under the radar.
This is a set-back for efforts to improve water quality in Wales and reduce nutrient pollution from agriculture.
In its place? Self-reporting. 1/3

Our new research just published in @NatureClimate finds that the northern peatland carbon sink is being burned up by wildfire and degradation.

We recently spotted Golden Plover enjoying this recently #Rewet gully. Instead of barren, dry eroding gullies, these pools have become perfect habitat for invertebrates such as Pond Skaters or Diving Beetles – ideal for any passing or breeding wader! #RSPBLlynEfyrnwy#Peatland
