Volunteers from Wistaston Conservation Group had an unexpected reward whilst out Balsam Bashing yesterday. They were clearing Himalayan Balsam from the Joey the Swan area of Valley Brook Nature Park, and were lucky enough to spot a kingfisher following the course of the Valley Brook. This is a great sign as it indicates that the water quality in the Brook is good. Malcolm Bellis from Wistaston Conservation Group said that it made the hours of Balsam Bashing worthwile.
