The final part of Saturday's walk. Home from the Royal Victoria Country Park via Netley, Weston Shore, Itchen Bridge and Northam. #walk #walking #Netley #Weston #Itchen
Swans at Northam Bridge on the river Itchen on Wednesday. These are more often seen near Cobden Bridge, further up the river. #walk #walking #swans #Itchen #Southampton
The waves of the Chalk-stream Water-Crowfoot (Ranunculus pseudofluitans) in the fast flowing River Itchen, mirror the waves of exaltation that course through me when immersed in such a wondrous chalk stream.

At @WinColl the River Itchen and its glossy banks of Chalk-stream Water-Crowfoot (Ranunculus pseudofluitans) and Common Mare's Tail (Hippuris vulgaris) flow together like harmonies in an orchestral piece, over the staves of its chalky bed. #Wildflowerhour #Winchester #itchen 8/11
Despite the brolly of Jonathan Spencer, architect of this adventure, the sun occasionally shone on the lucid waters of the River Itchen as it hurried, swollen by rains, over the brilliant white chalk gravels inhabited by caddis fly larvae. #Chalkstreams #Winchester #Itchen 6/11
Unlike most East Anglian #chalkstreams, despite heavy rain & dark of a halloween afternoon, visibility in the #RiverItchen still sufficient to see (if not photograph well) the Brown Trout (many clearly stocked) & Grayling, hanging out in the deep pools. #Winchester #Itchen 4/11
Stands of Branched Bur-reed fringe River Itchen, softened by the late summer candy floss hues of Meadowsweet, Common Valerian & Hemp Agrimony. Lime loving Perforate St John's Wort along the banks & Wild Privet in the scrub.

Along the banks of the River Itchen, magnificent clumps of Greater Tussock Sedge, Great Willowherb and, less welcome, a poisonous recent arrival, Hemlock Water Dropwort.

Cattle graze & herons stalk the water meadows of River Itchen downstream of Alresford, untouched by plough or chemicals, framed by Bulrushes bejewelled with Purple Loosestrife & patrolling Banded & Beautiful Demoiselles, Blushing Bracket on the willows

Even after a night of rain & a day of further showers, the River Itchen (12.9°C) runs clear over its white chalk & flinty gravels. Lovely banks of Common Starwort, plenty of Lesser Water Parsnip & some loss of Water Crowfoot to encroachment by Marestail. #Itchen #chalkstreams 3/6

And then rain stopped play - Kingfishers, Mandarin Ducks, Mallards, Mute Swans, Cormorants presumably all ducking for cover too.

Because you can never have too many Brown Trout....

You may have noticed one of the Brown Trout in the previous video carrying a fish leech - maybe Piscicola geometra? - here you get a better view of it.
