catching charEnnerdale Water is home to a unique population of Arctic Char which unlike other Cumbrian Char ,leave their lake to spawn. However their population is critically low and the Environment Agency are trying to boost numbers by catching migrating females and stripping their eggs, taking them to a fishery in Kielder where they are fertilised, hatched and grown in the safety of the fishery before being released again next spring.
Uploaded on Nov 16, 2009 lostandfoundWe are still learning how to track our herds of extensive grazing Galloway cattle. We are using satellite tracking collars but we are finding it difficult to know how tight to make the collar, not wanting to injure the cow. This collar must have been too loose as it has come off the cow after only a few weeks. Thankfully it reported its position accurately via email enabling it too be easily found again. Amizingly this is how it was found, eithe someone moved it or the cow pulled it of rubbing on the log.
