Glad to hear the weekend has been so productive! Well done to all!
ReplyDeleteWhere was the Roach? They aren't recorded as being on Islay or any other Hebridean island!

Could they be Rudd? I have heard of Rudd in Loch Allen. Carl.
ReplyDeleteDJ told me about Rudd there a few years ago. They would have been introduced, but then so could have been Roach.

We're hoping to catch some for the Centre so someone will be able to identify them for us!
