Yet another very serious accident this evening following this afternoon's overturning of an HGV on the St Albans spur road. We now have a car on its roof following a collision on the #M1 SOUTHBOUND and as a result, carriageway is CLOSED between J5 #Watford and J4 #Edgware

The #M1 remains COMPLETELY CLOSED on the SOUTHBOUND carriageway between junctions 5 and 4. Please find an alternative route #A414 #A1 #A41

Aquatic Warblers are still singing in NE Poland. This male is tirelessly displaying for already two months at a newly found by me site in the region. The habitat looks so good that the location will be included in official species survey in the next years.
