A load of old Sticklebacks

Just had a call from Ruth shes back in England. She said Prague was expensive but still enjoyed it but probably not go back for an holiday. So happy shes back on old blighty.

Pond news. We have had three more lots of frog spawn, the randy little fogies that's six lots in total! Andy's got the job of cleaning the pond out this week that should be fun! hope we've got enough tubs to collect water and pond life. I'm looking forward to seeing Colin the Carp up close, we have a large fish tank for that. While hes emptying the pond hes got to look out for around 7 Minos we put in the pond four years ago. The Minos around 1/2" long were collected from a local stream, but there were not what they seemed. O no, not at all, there now 5" long and meaty, we are pretty sure they're Rudd, so we need to return them to the stream, be for they eat all the frog spawn. We have umpteen sticklebacks they will be a challenge to catch. Nifty little blighters are sticklebacks, can't wait to observe the fun. Such an exciting life I lead.
