The Franklin's Gull at Crossness - found by @wobblygreen gave, well, frankly amazing views in the sun this morning. Only the second bird for London, the first being at the same spot in 2000 @BirdGuides @LondonBirdClub @CrossnessG @RSPBbirders @ThePhotoHour #londonbirds

In #VolunteersWeek we're saying a big 'Thank You' to the wonderful people from communities along the Thames Path who help to look after their local environment. Dedicated @CrossnessG #volunteers clear tons of rubbish from the foreshore. 👏👏@LondonPortAuth @ThamesEstPart
Thank you so much to the 9 dedicated volunteers who showed up on Sunday for our monthly beach clean. Rain eased off whilst we were on the foreshore & we collected 15 bags of waste /bulky items. Thanks to @CrossnessET 🚽@ThamesmeadLDN 🗑️ & @Thames21 for their continued support 💚

👋👋 a dozen #litterheroes defying the rain on Sunday to help #stopplasticpollution in the Thames. The stuff they pull off the foreshore looks awful, and thanks to these people it isn't in the ocean! @KeepBritainTidy @ThamesEstPart @LondonPortAuth
🌧️Rain didn’t stop 12 dedicated volunteers down at the foreshore on Sunday. We collected 22 bags of waste plus a plastic chair seat & sofa cushion. Many thanks to Peabody @ThamesmeadLDN for collecting the waste & @CrossnessET for 🧼🚽facilities &

Has your coffee gone cold? If you leave rubbish near the river, there's a good chance it will end up in the water. (This one didn't.) We're all responsible for protecting the Thames. Find litter picks 🗑️ 🚯 hubs.la/Q02jLbX30 #PortOfLondon #CleaningTheThames

It was great to see a piece about pollution from road runoff on the BBC News this morning. Thanks to @JonahFisherBBC for highlighting this problem for all of us that are fighting to reduce river pollution.

Please complete @CoryGroupUK’s consultation and let them know that it is unacceptable to concrete over 6 acres of one of the best nature reserves in London during a biodiversity crisis & encourage them to rethink their plans!!
The statutory consultation on our #decarbonisation plans is now live. Visit corydecarbonisation.co.uk to find out more and have your say.
