The grasshopper warbler is named for its song which resembles an incredibly loud grasshopper. As we get older the first part of the hearing to deteriorate is the exact pitch the grasshopper warbler sings at! Sad to think most of us will stop hearing them at some stage in our lives. #FactFriday

The Riverfly Partnership @riverflies.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

A common misconception is that Riverfly monitoring is only for those living in rural areas, with access to gorgeous streams teeming with fly life... The Urban Riverfly scheme was developed to allow more meaningful monitoring to be done on rivers where sensitive riverflies are less commonly found.

14 groups of invertebrates are counted in Urban Riverfly surveys. The RMI eight, plus six other groups not counted in standard Riverfly surveys.

Why the six extra groups? They are more pollution-tolerant, making Urban Riverfly ideal for urban and modified rivers where riverfly numbers tend to be lower.

In Urban Riverfly scoring, abundances of pollution-tolerant invertebrates impact the score negatively.

Urban Riverfly scores can be used to provide a more detailed picture of the changes in river environments, particularly in areas that would consistently get low RMI scores.

Who can do Urban Riverfly surveys? Urban Riverfly can be a starting point for new monitors – no experience needed! You just need to attend an Urban Riverfly training day. E-mail info@riverflies.org to find your local hub. If you’re already a trained Riverfly monitor, and you think your site would benefit from Urban Riverfly monitoring, you can upskill to learn to ID the extra groups – just contact your hub
co-ordinator for more information. Other than that, the methodology is the same as RMI.
