This programme is integrated with the effluent discharge compliance assessment programme, Samples are taken not only of a significant discharge but also of the receiving water immediately upstream of the discharge and at the edge of the mixing zone downstream of the discharge. The 1992 programme has several purposes, such as: - identifying any impact by the discharge on the receiving waters. - characterising upstream water quality. - providing a database against which change can be measured.

  • British Naturalists' Association | 1 Another Water Habitat Creature Was the Great Crested Newt
    BRITISH NATURALISTS’ ASSOCIATION Taw Valley & Exmoor Branch FOUNDED 1905 Reports for 2016 Birdwatching bonanza, 10th January 2016 Despite the atrocious weather in December and the first part of January, there was a good turn out as we met at the Barnstaple Leisure Centre car park to amalgamate into fewer cars. I could not believe how dark it was at 8 o'clock in the morning. As we drove down the link road over Exmoor, the clouds began to lift and an unfamiliar object appeared in the sky casting an orange glow over the dark forbidding moor. We arrived at Darts Farm in good time and inspected every chaffinch flock on the way down to the ponds. Yes we saw goldfinches, linnets, reed bunting, house sparrows and greenfinches all mixed in but no sign of the lonesome brambling. Then two latecomers joined us and they had walked down the same path also inspected all the chaffinch flocks but managed to see the brambling. So much for “the early bird………..”. Down at the ponds, where last year in January there were the penduline tits, there were plenty of birds including stonechat and meadow pipit. Round now through the flood water to Powderham to see the fallow deer. There seemed far too many there for the amount of grazing available. A lot of the grounds were flooded so it was over the railway line to look at the River Exe. We were rewarded with views of redshank, spotted redshank, greenshank, little egret and the first of the day's many avocets. The access to Exminster Marshes was flooded when we passed it, which was a pity as the cattle egret that was there flew over to Powderham after we had left.
