Foam sweet foam…
A section of the final stretch of the rio Chillar doesn’t look very appetising at the moment, although it could just be foam. Having said that, there were three young Plovers scuttling up and down in the water but skidding to a halt and doing an about turn when they reached the ‘foam’.
Wet and windy day…
The authorities won’t be accumulating many Frequent Cleaning Points, this has been in the river for just over a month now, although it has moved about thirty metres UPSTREAM. And it has been joined by a couple of beer crates.
Hopefully no serious injuries…
Must have been quite an accident down by the river.
