26th January..... River Misbourne.

After checkin' out the upper reaches of the river last weekend, we explored further down past Amersham. Not much bird wise, which is a sorrow state of affairs, just 50 Redwings, 2 Greenfinches, kestrel, Buzzard, Meadow Pipit & a Song Thrush with a death wish constantly dipping into a cattle trough, should always be a floating object in troughs to give birds some thing to cling to if they should get into difficulty. South Bucks District Council in conjunction with Affinity Water are working in partnership here on an environmental restoration project, which basically means pollarding/coppicing the trees.
The river is flowing nicely until it reaches the Household Waste Recycling Centre, but as it emerges beyond the centre, all we have is the sad sight of a dry river bed so where did it go??
