Nice plump 'pregnant' Bullhead turned up in today's kick test at #durbridge #riverflypartnership #wildtrouttrust
Out in the Rivelin with DonCatchmentRT today to learn about kick sampling for river invertebrates #invertebrates #riverflypartnership #rivelin #riverinvertebrates #kicksampling
Great to be out Riverfly Partnership surveying again today on the #RiverBain . Glad to see that the invertebrates are happy and below the 'trigger level' for the site (which means that water quality is ok). For more info visit @riverflypartnership website - riverflies.org/ARMI
Kick testing later today at Upleadon and Durbridge then a few sneaky casts as dusk settles in. #riverflypartnership
