<p>The footpath's existence is incidental to Thames Water's work to maintain the flow capacity of their waterway and stem any leaks for which they can be fined (it's still a significant part of their network). Thames Water of course is a private company so public money doesn't come into it.</p>

<p>I thought the old banks were in good condition. Now I think that there is so much public money available in our country with this little known path getting a fortune spent on it. Thames Water must have got government grants to pay for it. </p>

<p>Yes there are definitely still fish in the river. The river has been looking very murky for some reason recently though?</p>
<p>One of the five cygnets is no more though, sadly. I saw it's body on the bank a few days ago. I'm assuming a cat or fox got hold of it.</p>

<p>Yes he always flies away as you approach. Usually flies a bit further down the path or across to the other bank, and then I think back the original position once you're out of the way. </p>

<p>The heron has been a regular sighting recently, here it is on the other bank:<a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2162884537?profile=original" target="_self"><br></br><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2162884537?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="721"></img></a></p>
<p>I think I've seen one - though possibly the same one - on the stretch of New River on the other side of Green Lanes going up to Seven Sisters…</p>
