21st August 2025 - the Nature Watch RiverCare team undertook their usual sampling of the river at Abington Ford, and the results are shown below. The river was running very low, barely filling the bed by the ford, and the sample was similarly low. There were a few Olive and Mayfly larvae and reasonable numbers of Gammarus, and a damselfly nymph, along with several small Signal Crayfish and a Bullhead.
