using a magnet and a sensor, the essex team can monitor that opening and closing.you've got here, on a raft in the middle of the estuary. it absolutely is. a bit colder today, but we do get to work out here. the purpose of the sensor is to tell us when 50% or more of the oysters, that are down here in the water attached to wires, have already spawned. we can actually see the spawning behaviour through the dynamics of the valves of the oysters opening and closing, sending that signal up the wire, into the data hub, up to a ag connectivity transmitter, that will send a signal back to the mobile—phone—connected computer in the office of the oyster men. once they get that signal, colchester oyster fishery has just a matter of days to lay tonnes of crushed shells onto the sea floor. the baby oysters love to settle on the shells and grow. but lay them too early and they get covered in mud, lay them too late and the larvae get washed away. the oyster data could bring other benefits too. this estuary is experiencing climate change. it has changing temperature regimes so we

richard westcott, bbc news, mersea island in essex. as well. this is what it looks like this afternoon, single figure temp ajer is really struggling in some areas, cold and cloudy across eastern areas, rain in the north—east, a few showers in the south—west, and then tonight the thinking is there will be quite a lot of cloud across the uk. that prevents the temperatures from dropping too low. first thing on friday morning, we are not anticipating quite a widespread frost, or as widespread as it was earlier this morning. the weather tomorrow is going to stay pretty chilly. notice the weather front in the south—west, that means perhaps some showers for cornwall and devon but for most of us actually it is just cloudy with occasional glimmers of sun, but most of the showers will be in the south—west probably. temperatures tomorrow nudging back up temperatures tomorrow nudging back up to around 10 degrees, that‘s slightly milder air leaking in from the south that i mentioned, 12 may in balmy plymouth but for most of us around single figures

the numbers you see, ecca, that's essex county court archives volume 1. very early on we had our own custom names for them. so you're seeing some of the stuff behind the book. these became different numbers in the book when we decided to do the chronology, and that was a challenge unto itself. so you're really seeing the behind the scenes pieces in here. the hands in the documents, because we were looking to make sure we got good transcriptions, we also kept track, a word count. because if you were looking for a big chunk of text by a particular person in their handwriting, it was really nice to know. so we kept track of that so you could go look and say, oh, do i have a good example of somebody else's handwriting? and give me a bunch of it. then also whether we were going to include them in the book and we had parameters for inclusion. we ended up saying we had to have a person's name and it had to be a significant contribution. we couldn't just say, yeah, we know this person did it because they wrote it and signed it. that wasn't enough. we were looking

one of those could well target kent and essex, another one running into parts of norfolk and lincolnshire less widespread as we get towards south—east england. you should be quite unlucky to see showers here, there will be one or two knocking around. temperatures not as warm as the weekend. we're looking at highs typically into single figures, and the colder air will begin to move in as we head into tuesday. the cloud thickens, as well, so there'll be further showers around, perhaps a bit of wintriness mixed in too, particularly but not exclusively over the hills. temperatures — well, we're looking at perhaps five degrees in places. but factor in these strong winds, gusting to 40, maybe 50 mph around the coast, and it will feel colder than these numbers would suggest, not that five is a particularly warm day. that's pretty cold for this time of year. but if you add the wind onto that, it will feel more like freezing in places. and there could be a bit snow of around tuesday night, perhaps around the hills of wales, also the brecon beacons as well. now, the middle part of the week sees thi
