	The restoration of Skjern River - Oxbøl Statsskovdistrikt
		It was formerly a marshland with a mixture of reed-swamps, meadows, meandering watercourses and shallow lakes.
		The channelling of the river and the cultivation of the marshland soon showed to have negative impact on the wild flora and fauna. The reclamation had also severe effects on the water quality, and thereby the fish and waterfowl populations of Ringkoebing Fjord.
		The purpose were to restore the nutrient retention capacity of the river and its valley, to restore an internationally valuable wetland and to increase the recreational and tourist values of the area.

		Unfortunately we dipped on the crake but we were compensated with excellent views of a female Cassowary with two chicks as well as superb views of some of the commoner rainforest species that visit Johns' garden.
		The pools of water in the river bed were numerous and quite extensive and I was a little worried that the Hooded Parrots may have too many pools to choose from for drinking.

	Avian Demography Unit: Volume 10 Number 1, July 2001
		The Cunene River is the third-largest Namibian river, emerging in the Atlantic Ocean approximately 1000 km from its source.
		The banks of the river do not have extensive riparian vegetation and the lagoon and vegetated islands at the mouth are probably the most biologically productive areas on the lower Cunene River.
		The Cunene River mouth never supports large numbers of waterbirds, but it is nevertheless an important staging and feeding area for waders, probably as a result of its isolated location along the Atlantic coast.

		Not a bad river, easy group trip, with twoi easy grade 3's, the second grade three, is after the little wier with a bridge over the river.
		Local house and land owners with interests in this river are very supportive of paddlers but there is, unfortunately, a history of the people at the house river left at the first grade 3 and the houses down by the bottom rapid getting abuse from paddlers.
		The river, as always, was full of overhanging trees, and one of the bridges (the first down from Coniston, I think) now has a gate under it on the right hand side.

		The spotted, little and Bailon's crakes are found in Europe and Asia, and Baillon's crakes are also found in southern Africa, Australia and New Zealand, an unusual discontinous distribution with isolated populations in different parts of the world.
		Crakes are skulking birds living in thick cover and flying only short distances, except when on migration.
		Their capability for sustained flight is shown by the Carolina crake's trans-Atlantic flights; many have been recorded in the British Isles.

		On reaching the river we were presented with a breathtaking vista with the early mists still departing from the river surface revealing the camel carts that are typical of the region ambling slowly across the pontoon bridge and providing excellent photo-opportunities.
		It wasn’t far to the river, and this segment of the journey was uneventful, apart from a minor detour being taken when the residents of a village decided to blockade the main road in protest at a lack of electricity.
		Due to its high population of both muggar and gharial crocodiles and all of the typical river birds, the river is a sanctuary.

	Fells: Pack trains
		Pringle (1794) observed that the "great roads" were "kept in excellent repair by sums collected at turnpike gates" although "parochial roads" were less satisfactory: "many scarcely exceed the smallest legal breadth allowed by statute, which is eight feet".
		The last turnpike to be completed in Westmorland was the road built in 1818-1819 from Levens to Penny Bridge, where a toll was levied for the passage over the River Crake.
		Trade began to move off the pack routes and the ponies, to take advantage of the greater speed and carrying capacity of coaches and carts on the easier gradients of the turnpikes.

		Both myself, and a friend had decided to paddle the River Crake, and we set off from Coniston water, accessing the lake from a public right of way, as described in the BCU English Rivers handbook using one of the agreed access points.
		I think the underlying reason for their aggression is that as fisherman, they pay a large amount of money per year to fish the river, and as kayakers, we seem to have the pleasure of it for nothing.
		Unlike the incidents on the river where I was present and know exactly what happened, I have no idea what did or did not happened in a car park 20 miles away.

	River Crake Sun 9th December 2005
		It’s not often you get the chance to paddle a river from source to sea, and in just a couple of hours.
		But then the river picks up eventually delivering you to a grade 3 rapid with a twisting line but no real problems.
		For the rest of the river the rapids are fairly continuous, with a good assortment of smaller playspot on the way.

	WORLDTWITCH - Birding in Sri Lanka & Southern India by Jon Hornbuckle
		Drive towards Rajamalai, cross 2 bridges over the river, pass the tea factory on the right and park at a double left turn (a dirt road and a sealed road, 10 min from Munnar).
		The following morning he walked further up the main trail, then dropped down to the river through the forest and again flushed a Night-Heron which he was able to locate perched high in a tree along with 1 or 2 others.
		Corn Crake, Crex crex – a crake/ rail with rusty wings flew briefly in the small marsh reached by the trail at the start of the first padi on the right, by the gate/ checkpost at Sinharaja – although classed as a vagrant, I can’t see what else it could have been.

		You eventually come to where the River Esk meets the sea and the road takes a right under the railway line.
		You'll cross a bridge over the River Crake - which runs out of Coniston Water and out to sea at Greenodd.
		The road back along the West side of the lake is the A5084 and is usually quite busy with cars and the occasional lorry and coach, but as I say at the moment is very quiet.
